In the 70s and 80s surfers and their dogs were inseparable on South West surf trips.
Blackie the dog owned by Bob Monkman and Ian ‘Prive’ Morris specialised in chasing and retrieving bricks from trees at Yallingup.
Around the same time, Steve ‘Sheepdog’ Cockburn had a Labrador that liked to chase & retrieve house bricks. If you showed any inattention when he was returning the brick, he would drop the brick on your foot 😊
