Robert Weber was found by Mr Perrett near a dam on his Kilkivan property more than two weeks after the 58-year-old went missing, and despite the dam having already been investigated during comprehensive searches led by police.

He and his companion had become separated and the dog was thought lost, at least until late Sunday night.
