This Dog isn't my pet, nor is it a pet to the farmer so I've respectfully entered her/him into the Animals gallery.

This Sheep Dog is sat outside the farm entrance observing traffic in it's spare time. Every single time I return home from Slimbridge this Dog is here in exactly the same location counting cars. :o)

I sat on the grass across the road to take this shot as a car approached from my right. There was one Lady driver who actually stopped her car in the road for me while I was shooting frames !! .. Oh boy it seems the Dogs smarter than her, & she's certainly more crazy than me. Lol

Speaking of crazy what's Garbage up to ? oh, & by the way watch this music video carefully, & tell me when you see EJ shooting the road crossing. ;o)

Very good image of him and find the story interesting Phil. Something unique about your story, I think anyway. He is a fine looking animal. :) sandi♥

My favorite dog Phlosssie. Forrest is half border and half sheldy. He is really a nervous dog. Someone told me they didn't care for Garbage and I said Rubbish. Then the Trash talk really began. Have a good day and the photo is priceless.

Sheepdogs are amazing animals. They seem to have a telepathic link with the shepherd. I used to watch them years ago when we used to stay at Delia's aunt's cottage in the Conwy Valley. This is such a good photograph,Phil. It is pin sharp and, together with your narrative, tells a good story.

I agree he is a beautiful dog, and I am guessing he has earned his rest watching passers by. I love that he still has dirty paws which would suggest he still keeps a paw in the family business. :) I have to say that this shot makes me think of James Herriot
