1947 Dog buried a saveloy in the mud at the Carnival – North Hobart Oval

In 1947, during a Tasmanian Australian football carnival played at North Hobart Oval, a dog reportedly ran onto the field and buried a saveloy in the mud. The incident was described as happening before the last game of the carnival, and the dog was seen burying the saveloy in the center of the ground. This event is often cited as an example of the harsh conditions of the time and the popularity of saveloys as a snack at footy matches.
