"Fog a Dox" By Bruce Pascoe
Albert Cutts is a tree feller. A fella who cuts down trees. Fog is a fox cub raised by a dingo.
He’s called a dox because people are suspicious of foxes and Albert Cutts owns the dingo and now the dox. Albert is a bushman and lives a remote life surrounded by animals and birds. All goes well until Albert has an accident. This is a story of courage, acceptance and respect. With a gentle storytelling style and finely crafted dialogue, Indigenous cultural knowledge and awareness are seamlessly integrated into the narrative.
