Ruth and Her Shepherd — Author Unknown

On a clear, crisp morning a solitary shepherd, escorted by his black and white Border Collie, Ruth, begin their sheepdog trial. Sheep are agile and the shepherd needs a resilient dog with enough ingenuity to control a flock from considerable distances. How did these nimble, swift dogs evolve, and how did shepherds train them? This story both explains and personifies the uncanny connection between dog and man as they work together to fetch, drive and pen a flock of sheep. KnK Adventures' lucid prose and poignant photos clearly illustrate the devotion, trust, and love between Ruth and her shepherd, propelling you through each stage of their competition.
