This little dog was found at a camp site near 3 ways Normanton. It is a Pomeranian and is now being looked after in Mt Isa. All comments on the facebook pages suggest the owners could be grey nomads. He is very well cared for in excellent condition. Will try and post some photos as soo as I work out how.

They have done a fine job without issues for those years. They had both become a little dirty on the fan blades and the areas where the wires ar...
