Another shining example of just how wonderful dogs are, this story being exceptionally special and courageous. Patsy, a 6-year-old Border Collie/Kelpie mix, is a working dog in Australia’s countryside, and recently guided a large flock of sheep away from a fire zone, even when flames were creeping near.

Most of the dog’s (human) family had to evacuate the scene, but Patsy and her owner stayed behind, making sure the livestock were protected from the fire. Apparently she was cool and collected through the entire ordeal. Very good dog, indeed.

The owner has proclaimed:

“I’d have been stuffed without Patsy, she’s earned front-seat privileges for the rest of her life.”

  1. That’s so sweet! I love border collies, but they have a little too much energy and exercise needs!
