That is just too cute

Dog's...whenever I need a pal, two come a runnin'. All the things they do it's said is done for us. Maybe. I think watching us gives them an urge to participate too. Most remarkable thing is, they've been at our side for eons...
I've tended horses, aviaries, cattle, waterfowl, fish, snake, opossum, a ferret, lab rats, even a gopher. Only the horse approaches the intuition understanding of hand signals and voice instructions, but still not naturally as a dog.
Man's Best Friend hardly describes it.

If you get the chance, spend a few afternoon hours at a sheep dog trial. 'em are some smart pooches.

they are good workers to boot (not litterally). that is the fastest one I've seen. My dad used to train them for shooting deer & scrub turkeys (protected).

The first thing I thought of when I saw this dog was this song
A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It's nearly one A.M. and here am I
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home before the morning light
I got no fare to ride a train
I'm nearly drowin' in the pouring rain
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby's side
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Long distance call I got today
She sounded lonely so I'm on my way
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home, to keep her satisfied
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Oh, won't somebody stop and help a guy?
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Been away too long from my baby's side
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride

What better way to look out over the flock when you're just a short dog?
