00:00Sitting down for a morning cuppa next to the resting place of his mustard dog, Frank Finger
00:09is still dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Cathy and his dog, Eni, two days apart.
00:16Both very genuine. Both supported me in whatever I wanted to do. Lucy up.
00:25The Clermont farmer says his wife of 47 years gave her unwavering love and support.
00:32Probably most noted for a love for the grandchildren. And our own children of course, but yeah the
00:39grandchildren, yeah. They're the ones that are missing her, very much so.
00:45Frank's first working dog school since the family's heartbreak in Clermont was a tribute
00:50to Eni's brilliance.
00:51I've just got to be thankful for the five years I've had. But I've only ever had two
00:55dogs with brilliance like she had out of all the dogs I've had in 30 years.
01:00The Finger family has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the entire Clermont
01:06community as well as the mustard dogs family. Not one for the spotlight, Cathy was a true
01:12community stalwart.
01:13She's been a great supporter of the community always and a great supporter of Frank, yeah.
01:18She wasn't one for the limelight but she was always there.
01:21The community's heartbroken for Frank at the moment.
01:24It's meant just so much but it is a little bit overwhelming just to think that so many
01:29people are getting cards and I'm a bit like the rhinestone cowboy, getting cards and letters
01:34from people I don't know.
01:37Frank's new Kelpie pup Jonty is learning the ropes to join his other mustard dog favourites,
01:42Lucifer and Lucky on the farm.
