Very cool story but I have to say I’ve never heard of a breed called “blond heeler”.

So after looking up what a “heeler” is I see there is a breed called “Blue Heeler” aka Australian Cattle Dog. I wonder if this one is a bleached blond version?

Most likely the reporter is not familiar with the breed.

Put something like “bl. heeler” in his notes, and then forgot it stood for “blue”.
