Blue Heelers S05E19

Deed Not the Breed

Episode 5.19 (189)
June 24, 1998
Written by Ysabelle Dean
Directed by Richard Sarell

Dash is befriended by a stray dog, but when she brings it back to the station, it tries to attack Nick and generally causes havoc. When Tom orders her to send it to the pound, Dash defies him, becoming almost obsessively defensive of the animal. Could this attitude have something to do with the news she has just received about her medical condition? Instead of obeying Tom, Dash advertises on local radio for the owner of the dog to come forward. Unfortunately, two contenders appear and, judging by the dog's attitude, neither of them is the real owner. What is going on? Dog attacks have been reported in the area, and the Heelers suspect Dash's new canine friend is the culprit. But when a man reports that his mother's new overcoat was stolen, the Heelers meet another contender — the mother owns a pit bull terrier.

Meanwhile the Heelers are tracking down a Wangaratta man reported missing in their district. When they find him, he is dead — mauled to death by a dog. Suddenly things are looking very serious for Dash's dog. Dash is able to discover that her dog belonged to the dead man, whose body was found not far from a hidden marijuana plantation. She refuses to believe that his own dog turned on him, and persuades Maggie and PJ to look further into the case. Tom is seriously annoyed with Dash for her insubordination, but the wind is taken out of his sails when she tells him of her medical diagnosis.
