Simon Stretton is currently sharing his disability pension with a pack of 18 dingoes. His last ditch attempt to keep the doors of his dingo sanctuary at Durong, in south-east Queensland open, before the bank evicts him.
Simon ‘The Dingo Man’ has run the sanctuary for more than 10 years where he has rescued injured and abandoned dingoes. An $18,000 bank debt means that unless Simon can produce enough money by October he will be forced out and the sanctuary will shut down, the fate for the dingoes however is much more severe.

I would like to take this moment and thank the good man Marcus Thompson & his mate for taking the time to come out and meet my dingoes. This is the 3rd time now the ABC have sent someone to the Sanctuary to film a story about me Living with Dingoes. I really appreciate their interest in my work. As a avid film maker and editor I know how difficult it is to cramp 5 hours of filming into 5 mins, so again thanks to Marcus for the many days he would have spent on this. Also thanks to my good mate Dan Poole for allowing us the use of his drone footage of the sanctuary, it really puts things on a different level. I am a long way out of clutches of the Bank, but I would like to offer my thanks to the people who believe in my work and who have donated so generously. I will be sending you something in my appreciation. Once again, thank you Aunty Jack and the ABC News Qld.

dingo simon You go Simon! I hope you get all the support you need to help your dingo mates. Some of my best memories are from working out in the bush as a surveyors assistant in the 80's and occasionally seeing dingoes, the best of all was seeing two young ones playing together at dusk near the Great Sandy Desert, magnificent dogs to sit quietly and observe. Of course you're a top bloke with that name, good onya mate!

I had a dingo in the 90s his name was stub (his old owner cut his tail off and he had a stub....so stub) He was the most protective/smartest dog I've ever had....when my brother was a toddler there was 2 dogs on the other side of the fence in the neighbors yard and he nudged my little brother away from the other dogs and would walk with him to make sure he didn't get too close to the fence.... I love dingos Rest in peace Stub

Thank you for some information about yet another of the wild dogs of the world. It seems incredible to many people that animals can be taught to interact with humans with very few spoken words. It appears that dingoes have some of the same body signals common in both domestic and other wild dogs. This man has taken the time to educate himself about dingo life and communication. They in turn have given him their trust and a look into their history. I thank you again for a very interesting presentation.

Probably not a lot of support for a dingo sanctuary. It's not like they are an endangered species. Still I would've tried to get some fundraising money to help it make it viable long term before under taking such a task. Not sure what the non profit organization laws are in Australia or if they even have government grants. Hope he gets the help he needs.
