What looks suspect about his dog dying?
-
Sadly Jack has passed, I believe that it was paralysis tick. Feel for Roothy, know all to well what it's like to loose a 4 legged best mate.

I think the op is talking about Chinese whispers.
Very sad when a mans best friend passes.

I'm surprised he didn't get skished under a 4x4 they way he always scampered about whilst they were filming various tracks ...
If he has karked it, no matter the means, then yes, it's a sad day for Roothy. He was a fine looking dog who loved adventure from what I could tell.

It is sad indeed.

Funny it's not hard to like animals more than most people.
-
that's really sad, We feel for the whole Rooth Clan. RIP little fella

Jack was a nice looking dog and I thought it great how he seemed to go everywhere with Roothy.
Though, I am interested to know how they got around taking the dog everywhere, including into NP's where dogs aren't allowed? Did they get some special dispensation for this?
-
Just took him in and hoped for the best

It's never easy to lose a good mate. RIP, Jack. You were always fun to watch.

Reached a point where the differing states where getting ready to take action not only against Roothy but also 4wdA/EMG if they went into one more National Park with a dog.

Rest in peace Jack :(

Seems sad when you loose a dog to a tick. A bit lacking on someones part aye.

Just curious ... where do you get off on having a dig at someone for losing their dog ?.

Just seems that EMG and most of their employees are considered fair game.
I know my kids enjoy the dvd's and shed a tear when I told them of Jacks passing.

C'mon all,
Lets not let this thread turn ugly. Jack was a great dog and a great mate to Roothy and his family. Unless you where right there and know exactly what happened, don't comment on his passing circumstances. R.I.P. Jack. Sorry for your loss Roothy.
Cheers

Yes ... sorry for your loss Roothy ... I would be shattered if I lost one of my dogs .
Cheers
-
Sorry to hear that Roothy's dog "JACK" had died.
Being a Border Collie owner myself..I know how devastated I would be if my Canine Buddy passed away.
I did like the words Roothy had put together on his site
"Think of Jacko every time you ignore a ‘No Dogs’ sign. He couldn’t read either…" ;D
Jack must of been the best travel dog around
Kind Regards John

Yeah mate, I wasn't aiming the post at you. I'm sure that it was a paralysis tick. I was having a go at the ones who are saying it is suspicious or saying that Roothy didn't show enough care (Barra). When someone has just lost someone close, human or pet, the last thing they need is people criticizing them.

I dont care who's dog it was, but being a responsible dog owner who takes a dog into tick areas, you must check the over a couple of times a day. A bit late now to lament over a lack of care.
-
My black Lab 'Jessie' had to be put down due to what we suspected was a tic :(
We spent over a grand in and out of 2 different vets over several weeks trying work out what was causing her to go limp. The first vet diagnosed her with pancreatitis, the second vet was certain it was a tic.
It was heart breaking having to say good bye to her at such a young age.
-
Yes it is always hard to loose a mate.

who"s to say that he didnt do all the right things and check jack over for ticks and one was missed. thats why they call these things unfortunate accidents...... again its a case of ill equiped and ill informed people putting there mouth in gear before there brain >:(

You might call it bad luck. I don't. As a farmer I'm proberly more equiped than most on how to look after animals.

This topic has seemed to have gone pear shaped....
-
Inded it has gone that way GU Rich
Just got our latest 4WD Action in the post, a really good trip in the Ammamor/kenilworth forest. might have been the last vid with Jack in it.
Too bad you can't get Key Man Insurance for someone like Jack, we all loved his antics, behaviour and (almost) looks just like ours if not for a slight difference in colour from the boy dog
-

being a farmer doesnt qualify someone as being equiped. Ive met a lot of farmers that you wouldnt leave in charge of a paper run let alone animals, bsides my comment wasnt about your knowledge of animal husbandry , like mentioned earlier no one knows the exact reason or circumstances behind what happened so i think its unfair to judge roothy on what he may may not have done
-
so did the dog have a handbrake, and need 230 4x's to do anything like the bogan that owned it?

Hmmmmmmmm........

It certainly has. Jack has passed, I don't understand why people Need to have a dig at his owner regardless of who he is. If my dog passed away would that make me fair game?
-
Yes, sad for Roothie, Sad for Jack indeed. Let's see what he has to say on this next DVDs.
Slightly off topic here, what happens to humans, can we get tick paralysis, do other animals other than dogs get this too?

Bruce, really?
Roothy the character versus John Rooth are two very separate things.
Sorry to hear hope him and his family are ok terrible to lose a loved pet

Other species including humans can suffer ill effects.

I just dont understand the whole acting like a tool is awesome (somethin in one of the vids like before he could check his diff oil once he had to have a beer, and one handy ???)and I should wanna be like him thing...
Carry on, nothing to see here.
-
It sells mags, many people respond to Roothy like they do to his Westy character in the bike mag. I don't get it either but I do get its a character
-
Build a bridge, dogs are family, I also respect what Roothys built up & everyone should aim for the same
-
To answer the question, yes ticks can do you in, don't know about killing a human but certainly knock your immune system about later in life eg Chronic fatigue and such

This thread is still pear shaped.....
