Awesome true dog story!

A beloved cattle dog falls overboard on a family outing. What happens next captures the imagination and remains almost unbelievable in the end. I listened rather than read so it took a bit of concentration initially to get used to the Aussie accent but after a bit I was held captive. The only negative for me was just prior to the end it seemed a little wordy but the overall story was so wonderful I forgave that problem. It's long! It would make for great listening on long car rides
