ADELAIDE Thursday. Whisky a miniature fox terrier finished an 1800 mile trek through the Far North in what may be one of the longest dog journeys.

With floods and heat, the family feared the dog dead, but Whisky turned up at Mambray Creek Station 160 miles north of Adelaide three weeks ago, recognised by Hancock’s former boss.
