funny dog/truck story

old Rogue,our black n tan huntaway who had bad experience with owner and shock collar as a pup...we got him past that.
we had J1 bedford truck with big cattle crate on back...Rogue loved it,but it got to stage I would be mustering with him up in paddock and truck would go along track and ol Rogue would abandon me and run off,catch up to truck and jump into back...hell of a feat now I look back,but was pain in the arse.
so we set him up...older bro stood inside crate with batton/lump of wood(out of sight) I went up paddock with dog,Dad drove truck slowly past...sure enough,dog deserted me and lept for open back of truck crate,to be met in mid air with hunk of wood...he picked himself up out of dust AND TRIED AGAIN...same result..then decided mustering sheep was better idea afterall...completely cured....
bit harsh looking back but fark it was annoying and problomatic when the sheep saw no dog helping me and took off again.
