The Howie Brothers - The Dog Sits On The Tucker Box. (Australian Country Music)
This is a much-loved Australian pop/folk song, written in 1937 by Jack O'Hagan.
By the time Jack wrote this song, the dog had been guarding that tucker box, five miles from Gundagai, for a good five years.
Jack's other contributions to the rich catalogue of Australian music included Our Don Bradman, Along The Road To Gundagai and God Bless Australia.
This version of the song, by Victoria's Howie Brothers, was released in Australia in 1982 as part of a four track EP The Dog On The Fiftieth Anniversary...
...it was issued by Country Man Records, cat. # CM-836.
All four tracks on the EP were Gundagai-related songs, marking fifty years since the monument had been erected..
I have uploaded all four tracks to YouTube, from the original EP.

[4K] Walking to see the Dog on the Tuckerbox in Gundagai on the Hume Highway - Australia Tourism
A short detour off the Hume highway into Gundagai to see the famous, Dog on the Tuckerbox.
The Dog on the Tuckerbox monument was erected as part of 'Back to Gundagai' Week in 1932 and a large crowd gathered to her again to witness the unveiling by the Prime Minister. It was planned to donate money placed in the wishing well at the base of the monument to the Gundagai District Hospital. A souvenir shop was also opened nearby.
The dog section of the monument was cast in bronze by Oliver's Foundry Sydney and its base sculpted by Gundagai stonemason Frank Rusconi. It was unveiled by the then Prime Minister of Australia Joseph Lyons on 28 November 1932 as a tribute to pioneers. The statue was inspired by a bullock drover's poem, Bullocky Bill, which humorously describes a series of misfortunes faced by the drover, culminating in his food being spoiled by his dog who sits either in or on his tuckerbox (an Australian colloquialism for a box that holds food, similar to a lunchbox, but larger).

The Dog on the Tuckerbox is an Australian historical monument and tourist attraction, located at Snake Gully, five miles from Gundagai, New South Wales. The dog section of the monument was cast in bronze by 'Oliver's Foundry' Sydney and its base sculpted by Gundagai stonemason Frank Rusconi. It was unveiled by the then Prime Minister of Australia Joseph Lyons on 28 November 1932 as a tribute to pioneers. The statue was inspired by a bullock drover's poem, Bullocky Bill, which celebrates the life of an allegorical drover's dog that loyally guarded the man's tuckerbox until death.
A dog monument had been first erected at a site nine miles from Gundagai in 1926.
Bullocky Bill was written by an otherwise unknown poet who used the pen name Bowyang Yorke and first printed in 1857. A later poem by Jack Moses drew on the Bowyang Yorke poem for inspiration and was published in the 1920s.
The latter poem was very popular and was the inspiration for the statue. Moses's poem, Nine Miles from Gundagai, was first published in 1938, several years after the statue's unveiling. Jack O'Hagan's song, Where the Dog Sits on the Tuckerbox , was published in 1937.
Frank Rusconi had suggested a memorial using the legend of the Dog on the Tuckerbox in 1928. However, in 1932 the proposal was taken up by the community. The Gundagai Independent of 11 August 1932 wrote:
