Cheryl Verster of Renishaw Hills said her son, Dale, and Rhodesian Ridgeback ChiChi recently went for a run in a bush area. ChiChi was off the lead, running next to Dale, when she stopped and wouldn’t move. Dale went on and called her, but she would not move. He ran on, looked back, and called her. ChiChi did not move. She started making a strange barking sound. He went back; she was so excited to see him return. When he reached her, she looked down, and a bunch of keys was next to her – Dale’s keys. A double helping of kudu biltong was exchanged for the keys. Dogs truly are man’s best friend.
