Taken from Chapter 3: Dingo Dingoes are wild dogs found in Australia. They were brought to Australia by people about 4,000 years ago. The dogs turned wild and roamed all over the continent. Today, farmers think dingoes are pests because they raid flocks of sheep. A fence over 3,000 miles ,800 kilometers) long was built to control the dingoes. It protects much of eastern Australia by forcing the dingoes to live in remote, harsh parts of the land. --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

As a second grade teacher, my students loved hearing this book during our Australia unit. Very informative with great pictures! I recommend for any child with a love of animals and an interest in Australia.
