Since Muster Dogs first hit our screens in 2022, it has captured the hearts of people worldwide. The gorgeous hard-working puppies and their dedicated breeders, educators and trainers not only charmed us, they taught us about the drive and capacity needed to work this land and feed our population.

But what really resonated with fans was the loyalty, connection and mutual dependence between dog and handler. The intuition and drive of the muster dog, whether kelpie or collie, is truly something to behold.

In this book, captured in vivid colour are the characters - both canine and human - and moments of drama that have made the show, as well as the tough but glorious locations around Australia that they call home.

With more than 200 photos of these pups at work and play - creating mischief and demonstrating mateship - this is a tribute to the uncomplaining, reliable and often unsung heroes of our land.
