An Aussie Bushwalk with a Loyal Rhodesian Ridgeback

I'm a little old lady and there's a LOT of empty bush but for rabbits, roos & strangers you never see coming, yet I'm perfectly safe in the company of my Ridgeback Mister Brown who always has an eye, ear & nostril on me.
No matter how enticing the rest of the bush is, he's never far and always coming back into my sight (because in the bush he has his hunting feet on, you never hear him snap a twig even if he's right behind you), so I know I'm never alone & unprotected ... and, he does it all so handsomely!
