Officer Brigg’s Hound Dog.

The picture at the bottom is my friend Pat with his truck that I can’t identify. With wooden spoked wheels I guess it’s mid to late 20’s and some of you readers will know.
The little town of Finley, 12 miles north of where I live now (in Tocumwal), had an anniversary which included a street parade of old vehicles. This is Pat with his entrant.The local highway cop pulled him up to check on the legalities and Pat was okay because he had a permit for that day. Never the less the cop whose name was Brigg read the riot act to him. Now Brigg was infact Pat’s neighbour and was despised in the street. Despised in the town. Despised in other nearby towns infact despised in every place he showed his face even amongst other cops. He was just a nuisance in the community.
Brigg had a pet dog. I doubt if even the dog liked him. There are interstate truckies in the town of Finley and my friend arranged for one to transport him north to the town of Dubbo which is about a seven hour drive and tip him out. If the dog was microchipped, as required by law, Brigg would have had both the expense and incontinence of fetching it. If not chipped I am sure the dog would have found a better home.


I've just checked out Pat's truck and it looks like steel spoked wheels. No doubt a reader might set me straight.
