When Ellen White was on the Moana sailing back to the United States in 1900, she spent many happy hours looking through a scrapbook given her during a farewell service in Australia. The scrapbook contained pictures of churches, friends, and her Sunnyside home. One page was reserved for pictures of her watchdog, Tiglath-Pileser.

Many years before, parts of Australia had been settled by convicts, so this watchdog was a valued member of the family at Sunnyside.
