This is a short video about two herding dogs at work. Jetta, the Aussie, and Fiona, the Border Collie, love to play together. This day, instead of herding, Jetta just decided to grab Fiona’s leash and drag her around to where she wanted her to go. Dogs are so resourceful.
Luke left us a week ago and will be sorely missed by his all his friends (two-legged and four legged) in our K9 Nose Work group. He was the epitome of a gentle giant. Also know as “Fluffy”, he was like a heat-seeking missile when it came to searching out the hidden treasures in our exercises. Even when you weren’t looking, he’d sneak up and stick his nose in your treat pouch to make sure he hadn’t missed anything.
His memory will stay with us forever along with all the good times we had together. Sleep well, “Fluffy.”
