Life on the land is often boom or bust, forever at the mercy of Mother Nature. Aticia “Teesh” Grey took on the manager’s role on her family’s West Pilbara cattle station a few years after picking up her first team of kelpies. She soon faced a devastating drought that forced her to question everything she thought she knew about the fragile country of her home. Through the heartbreaking rollercoaster journey that followed, Teesh’s loyal pups proved invaluable as she and her family worked towards securing the property’s future. In 2020, Teesh showcased the potential of working dogs more widely. Joining the ABC TV series Muster Dogs, she and four other farming families took on the challenge of training new kelpie pups and testing their worth on properties. They showed the bonds that are formed between human and dog and demonstrated a positive environmental future for farming in rural Australia. This is a story of love, laughter, loss and hope, as Teesh finds her feet in an ever-changing world with the help of the dogs who have stood by her side.
