Hedda Murray, a bitey conversation (ANIMALS 2026)

These shots may be confronting, but it is just a day in the life for a brave cattle dog. As with all in her breed, this dog is extremely intelligent, tough, and uncompromising. When one of the mob lunged with a notion to trample her, she not only stood her ground against 400kg of bullying bovine, she took action, ultimately demonstrating to the incalcitrant beast who was boss. An aggressive bull is a danger to all. This series demonstrates how split-second conversations between dog and cranky cattle can go.
