After a bit of an incident on Thistle we occaisionally used to get the sheep dog to assist with the daily inspection of the Barons wheel wells.
I remember going out to turn on the runway lights one night and there was a possum hanging around a Partenavia in the parking bay. When spooked it actually tried to jump into the left engine cowling.
It had the misfortune to land virtually at the feet of the dog.
