Footrot Flats The Dogs Tale Page #4

---

Why heavens, if I can't have the stag, I'll have venison.

Where's me gun?

This will do!

Eat that, you monsters!

Look, Horse, there's a perfectly simple explanation for all this.

There, you little hooligan.

I gotcha!

Let me outta here, you big, fat plonker.

That must be Rangi!

You see to him, I go after Murphy. He's heading for he river!

...my big white hunky friend! Go let me outta here! I'm gonna eat you for dinner!

Let me outta here, you...

I'm coming, daddy!

Yep, up and away, baby!

Geronimo!

Yeehaw!

Go for it, Rangi!

Got you, Murphy!

Here, doggie, doggie.

Dog, dog.

Here, you blasted doggie, dog, dog.

Damn it! Blast! I lost them.

You'll do, you.

Cripes, it's Horse!

They must have hit him with a ballistic missile!

1, 2, oopsie-doopie-do.

Thank God, you're here, Footrot!

Did you see it?

Did you see it? Geez, it was ugly.

If there is a bird behind me, Murphy, it'll probably bite me on the freckle.

Cripes, croco-pigs.

I have a plan!

Surrender?

Ah, shucks. T'weren't nothing.

By heavens, you shall not prevail. Put up your duke, sir.

A gentleman, sir,...

...does not eat his opponent!

HELP!

Look...

Can't we...

Get around...

The table...

And talk...

This out?

Like civilized...

Human...

Beings!

Like dogs?

Like... pigs?

Goodness, gracious me!

Dear, oh, dear!

Dear, oh, dear!

Now, there we are.

Oh, it's nothing.

Just a mere gash to the bone.

Keep your eyes peeled. They must be there somewhere.

What if they've already gone past?

Into the sea?

Course they haven't, dummy!

Have they, Wal?

No show!

Let's keep looking!

- There they are!

- Yeah, yeah, it's them!

Yeah, you're right!

There they are, Rangi!

Get up here and gives us your feet! Quick!

Now!

Don't drop him, Uncle Wal!

Right, right, right, left!

You haven't got him down far enough, Uncle Wal!

Lower! Still can't reach!

Grab one this side. We'll do for the rest on the other.

- Get ready, Dog!

- Jump up to his hands!

- I've got her! I've got her, you guys.

- Oh, Jess!

Quick, on the other side!

- Jump!

- Grab me, Dog, grab the... Aargh! I missed them!

You missed them...

He's gonna drown!

You did your best, Rangi.

Really!

You did.

Come on, we might as well try down the beach.

Come on, kids, we better shove off.

The place won't be the same without old Horse and the Dog.

Damn sand, always gets in your eyes...

Yep, and up your nose.

Come on, girl. Jessie.

Jessie, in the truck. Come on.

Come on.

Come on...

Fine then.

I'll let her stay for a while and I'll come back and get her later.

Hey, Wal! Wal! Stop it! Stop the truck!

Jess's seen something!

What?

Come on, Uncle Wal!

Is it them?

Oh, no!

Give us me binocular.

What do you reckon, Cooch? A raft?

Could be.

Quite far out.

I think it is!

- Is it?

- Ah... Yeah!

Is it them?

Of course, it's them!

Yeah, yeah! It's them, alright.

Look... Look at Dog hanging in. Wow!

They're alright!

- So far...

- Good on you, Dog!

Ahh... Yeah... G'day!

Meow!

No, no, no, Major.

Not "meow", "woof, woof".
