Foz' was a Tom Groggin Station cattle dog who had seen many workers come and go. In his old age he had become quite deaf and a real nuisance, as sure as you like, if you were trying to get cattle through a gate somewhere old ‘Foz' would appear right in the middle of the gateway and was too deaf to hear the abuse being hurled at him to get out of the way.

When old ‘Foz' did finally pass away, to join the great cattle dog pack in the sky, Tom Groggin Station Manager, Trevor Davis made a special memorial gateway to him and buried ‘Foz' right in the middle of it!!
