My pet dingo Lindy is the most amazing dog. A beautiful animal that has a wonderful disposition and every day is a joy to share in the company of this warm and friendly two year old dingo. Lindy is funny and inquisitive and displays incredibly funny antics to those who know her. Lindy is extremely intelligent and follows commands and understands many words directed to her. Lindy sleeps on the end of my bed. Last summer she balanced on a surfboard in the swimming pool and enjoyed the frolic and laughs and splashes of the children in the pool. Lindy is the cause for much excitement when she visits the local football training sessions and all in the vicinity come to have a glance and meet with Lindy. I work in a respite centre for people with disabilities and since Lindy was a very small puppy I have taken her to visit the residents at the respite centre where she is warm and friendly and displays her most beautiful character, all who know Lindy love this friendly dingo. One night recently I was woken by Lindy who was licking my face to alert me of danger after a cat had climbed the fence outside our house and a brick had dropped and smashed on the ground. It was something I took in my stride as the more I learn about this breed of dog the more astonished and amazed I have become.
Lindy Meets Dinky, a Piano Playing Dingo
Dinky lives with Jim Cotterill at Stuarts Well 90km south of Alice Springs.
Tourists regularly come to witness Dinky "play and sing" on the piano.
Dinky has been immortalised in the game of trivial pursuit!
Jim Cotterill's daughter entered a competition that was held by the game of trivial pursuit and Dinky won a thousand dollars for their daughter.
Dinky, a central desert dingo saved after the rest of his family fell victim to bait in central Australia. Dinky is almost four years old. Witnessing Dinky play and sing on the piano was spectacular and wonderful. Lindy`s jaw dropped in awe as she heard the howl of another dingo for the first time. Lindy is my dingo and travelled to Alice Springs for this wonderful event. A love affair blossomed with Lindy and Dinky which had a small "hiccup" when Lindy shared a meal but ate the last piece of chicken!
