A DINGO took the sister she never knew but Zahra Chamberlain, 18, says she loves the native dogs and wants to protect them.
The half-sister of Azaria Chamberlain – the nine-week-old baby snatched from her tent at Uluru in 1980 – has become a passionate dingo advocate and is training to be a dingo handler.
The Year 12 student has been flying to Queensland from her home in Lake Macquarie, NSW, to support a dingo sanctuary.
Now she has spoken for the first time about her love of the species that father Michael and his first wife Lindy fought 32 years to prove was responsible for their baby’s death.
In an exclusive print interview with The Sunday Mail, Zahra said she wanted to use her profile to educate people about the maligned canine.
“We’re past all that terrible negative history,” she said.
“Given my family’s past, I still love dingoes as I do any other Australian wildlife.
“(My opinion of dingoes) has never really changed – I view them as a beautiful wild animal.”

The dingo looks a bit like a tan coyote.
A lot like those who irrationally want to protect predatory wolves because they are so cute and look like Fido.
Coyotes have taken children out of play pens right here in the USA. I did know of the Australian case. Difference being Dingos are feral dogs brought originally to Australia by the aborigines, and Coyotes are a completely wild Canid species.
Title worthy of consideration.
She is simply doing what our government has done on a large scale since 9-11.
Like Monica Lewinski?
Wasn’t there a passing reference to it in the movie “Quigley down under” as well?

Dingoes are Australia’s only native wild dog.
But they’ve been wild only a few thousand years and unlike wolves, they can be tamed and kept as pets.
The highlight of one’s life with a dingo is to hear it sing.
*facepalm*
