By Sally Lee This is one remarkable story of the undeniable love between a man and his best friend. It took Richie, a 12-month-old Kelpie, 13 days to be finally reunited with his beloved owner Paul Galloway after falling off the back of his ute - 45km from home. And boy, was he happy to see him. With a broken leg, a starved Richie survived on sheep and cattle dung as he trekked it back to Mr Galloway's Adelong farm in south-western NSW. Scroll down for video Paul Galloway, from Wagga Wagga in south-western regional NSW, with his 12-month-old Kelpie named Richie

Paul Galloway was driving to Gundagai, south-western NSW, with his 12-month-old pup in the back of his ute

Mr Galloway only realised he had lost his dog when he arrived at his destination

It is believed Richie trekked 45km to make his way back home
So taking Richie on a trip to neighbouring town @placeholder on June 20 was no exception.
