The story of a killer-dog. His owner had tried to train him to the domestic life, but the call of the wild and his hunting instincts were too powerful. As a killer he roamed abroad, hunted fiercely by farmers whose stock he wantonly destroyed. It is a story that is founded in fact.
As for Warrigal — he is as nature fashioned him.
“I have not sought to glorify Warrigal, neither have I condemned him. I have just tried to present him as he really is, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.”

Warrigal the Warrior
Reviewed by Greta
C. K. Thompson’s books give us an accurate account of Australian wildlife. But unlike some science books, they also tell a story beautifully. Thompson does not condemn or excuse the animal he writes about. The back of the Living Book Press edition quotes him, saying, “I have not sought to glorify Warrigal, neither have I condemned him. I have just tried to present him as he really is, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.”
