Finding something interesting, Rebel lost all inclination to obey his owner’s calls. The elderly couple walked into the woods to find their wayward dog. The husband told his wife to remain and save her legs whilst he went to fetch the springer; stubbornly barking 30 metres away. Closing on the dog, he saw the body. He gingerly checked for signs of life. There were none. Returning to his wife he told her to phone the Police.
Rebel continued to bark then suddenly ran up the mound, stopping at the top where he looked intently back at them then at something beyond their view. He barked again then disappeared. The man swore under his breath and began walking up the slope.
