Documentary following Dinah, an eight-month-old Australian dingo who is struggling to survive at the edge of the scorching Simpson Desert.

Dinah is an eight month old Dingo - an Australian wild dog halfway between a wolf and a domestic dog. Dingoes do things very differently from the marsupials that evolved down under. Suprisingly, the dingoes arrived in Australia by boat. Dinah's home is the central Australian outback, at the edge of the Simpson Desert, where temperatures reach 50 degrees centigrade in the middle of the day. Her life is one long hunt for food. She and her mum Sheila and her brother Dave will try to catch anything they can: goannas, thorny devils, skinks, frilled lizards, galahs, kangaroos... even camels. Amazingly, there are more wild camels in Australia than anywhere else in the world. They were introduced by the European settlers and, like the dingoes, were an important source of food, along with rabbits. When the going gets tough, is Dinah tough enough to survive?
