In a twist that 'you couldn't script', the beloved dog of Robert Weber, a man who was missing in bushland for 18 days, has been found alive.
Local MP for Gympie Tony Perrett said Nessie the Bull Arab wandered into a house on his property on Sunday afternoon.
"While it's dropped some weight, it had no injuries, it was still lively and still strong," Mr Perrett said.
"I called Robert yesterday to let him know and he was just elated that we'd found the dog.
"Just a good outcome, it was just lucky that it did wander into the home on the property and somebody was there."
