An extraordinary connection that captivated audiences on television has now been immortalized through art. Frank Finger, a grazier from Central Queensland, along with his beloved kelpie working dog, Annie, became household names during the inaugural season of ABC TV’s “Muster Dog” series. Their heartwarming bond has now been rekindled in the new ABC series “Portrait Artist of the Year.”
Frank Finger expressed his enthusiasm about the experience, admitting that it was a completely new venture for him. “I thoroughly enjoyed watching the artists do what they do so well,” he remarked, reflecting on the unique opportunity to witness creativity in action.
As a humble third-generation cattle farmer, Finger has taken on various roles throughout his life, yet he never imagined finding himself in the spotlight as a portrait subject. Describing the experience as surreal, he shared that even Annie seemed to relish their adventure, particularly enjoying the high-rise hotel where they stayed.
This heartwarming story not only showcases the bond between a farmer and his dog but also highlights the joy and excitement that comes from exploring new experiences, adding a touch of positive perspective to their lives.
