A wild rose provides its own thorny barrier to enhance the fence around the quarry edge. When we first moved to this area the quarry fencing was not as consistently secure as now. Our first rescue dog had survived on a local racecourse for 6 months before being caught by the dog warden, surviving on rabbits for herself and her puppies. For the first couple of months she was fixated on rabbits, and could not be called back from one once she was on the chase. She once chased one over the quarry edge, disappearing from view, and we thought we’d lost her. She somehow used shrubs to stop herself and to scramble back up to us. She soon stopped chasing rabbits, realising that food no longer had to be hunted, and the quarry edge fencing has since been made fully secure.
That is such a interesting story about your rescue dog. Wish my dog would learn not to chase pheasants! In their blood they say! Lovely shot of this delicate pretty dog rose with the sharp barbed wire
