Probably an unusual post, but, I'm wondering if anyone has come across a Beagle with a GPS collar (as well as two regular collars) alone on the AAWT around the Barry Mountains?
I came across her on the 28th December on the Twins Jeep Track, and she followed me to Selwyn Creek Road where I camped, apparently looking for food/water. The next day she followed me hiking all day, until we bumped into two other hikers heading north (around East Riley Road). She was frightened of them and held back at first then ran away, and I couldn't find her after that. I called the local council when I first saw her as she seemed abandoned, but the staff member advised that hunting dogs often get left alone and that the owners could collect her whenever they want using the tracking collar (I don't know anything about hunting).
I'm hoping that's the case and that she's been taken home, ignoring the fact that she was in a National Park, but am concerned as she was quite skinny, seemed hungry, and was fearful of people. I asked a few other hikers to keep an eye out for her, but if anyone has seen her lately please let me know, and I will follow up with the council to see if they can do something. She was a very sweet little dog once she trusted me so I would just like to know she's alright.
