Now we know better, we have met a lot of Tucker dogs. Actually we named him after a traditional Aussie poem about a Dog on a Tucker Box. ‘Tucker’ in Aussie means food - so our pooch is aptly named. This poem is about drovers and bullock team drivers who passed the time telling stories around the campfire while their dogs kept guard by the tucker (food) box.
