Nattai lost pet Dogs

Hi All,
One of the Hilltop locals has lost 2 dogs in the Nattai NP near Hilltop, last Friday, he has been looking for them but no luck. He's very distraught. Last seen in vicinity of upper RockyWater Holes Creek but could be a much further now. They are tame and friendly, and took off on a walk at Hilltop and looks like, can't find home.
Even if you have just seen the dogs please let him know where, so he can search the area, as they could have gone a long way from home. Names are Ferret and Champ. Please contact him on this number Darryl 0436287129.
He posted a sign at Wattle Ridge carpark, but you can only see it when coming back and you go through official turnstile which most bypass.
He's not god on social media and I'm not much better so if anyone can post on local Facebook or something please do.
See attached photo for colours (I hope it posted)


Cheers, Rob

If the dogs were lost in a location remote from their home, the owner should leave an item of clothing, jacket, etc for the dogs to return to, and check back frequently.

I asked the owner and he says he found his dogs 8 days after they went missing.

8 days! A GoPro on their collars would be fun. Imagine what they got up to?

Thanks for letting us know, Great news. Also if they stayed wild would be 2 more wild dogs in there.
He said he could send local mates in to look but didn't know where to look, as they could have been anywhere in the whole Nattai Park they could go many kms in one day, much more than us!
Yeah GOpro footage would be interesting, I'm guessing no straight lines.
