Gus
Breed: Labrador
Barking from: Nairne, SA
What's up dog?
Gus's job each day is to hunt for truffles on domestic farms. The elation on the farmers face when Gus finds the very first truffle the farm has produced, is priceless. It not only makes the farmers day, it justifies all the blood sweat and tears (and money) they have poured into their farm, sometimes over many years. I have witnessed desperate, heartbroken farmers instantly turn to pure joy and elation all because of Gus and his amazing nose.
