Dawn
Henry Degacher's Dalmatian dog 'Flip' survived Isandlwana and came in to RD on the morning of the 23rd wounded, where he was reunited with his master. As to how he survived - the dog saved himself of course. Dogs are good at that sort of thing. They also move away instinctively from the sound of high velocity gunfire - they can't stand it. By contrast to Flip Maori Browne's setter bitch was killed in his tent - pinned to the ground with an assegai - she may have been tethered. Mike |

Accepting most dogs' dislike of sudden and unexpected loud sharp noise, some can nevertheless be trained to remain steady during it. Gun dogs etc
But surely it's not being inferred above that the MH was a high velocity rifle in the conventional meanng of the term? Edward Bear |

Only 16 years late to the topic, but Pat Daly's dog made it out, too.
