Muster Dogs: Where Are They Now on ABC and ABC iview S1E3 – Lisa continues her travels around regional Australia, visiting Clermont, Queensland, where she joins Frank and his dogs Annie, Luci, and Lucky as they bring joy to residents of Montcler Nursing Home, a regular activity that lifts spirits and promotes mental well-being.
On the other side of the country, in Western Australia, Lisa catches up with Aticia and Gossip from Season 1. Aticia has moved off the cattle station that she lived at for 30-years to a new property further south after welcoming her first child, Savannah. With her focus now on motherhood and downsizing to a smaller property, Aticia made the tough decision to also downsize her pack of dogs, though loyal Gossip remains by her side, just with a lot less work to do.
In Bothwell, Tasmania, Lisa checks in again with Russ and his dog Molly from Season 2. Russ’s family business has been hit hard by plummeting sheep prices and drought, forcing layoffs. With the entire agricultural industry under extreme pressure, staying connected with friends and the local community is so important to Russ. Despite these challenges, Molly continues to excel in her role as a working dog, herding sheep alongside Russ.
Back in Western Australia, Lisa meets up with cowgirl Joni and her dog Chet from Season 1 who still live their life on the road. Since filming, Chet has become part of Joni’s A-team, showing exceptional skill despite his goofy demeanour. Joni has been very busy since filming, running dog and stock handling schools across the country, while Chet has also been busy welcoming four gorgeous puppies into the world.
