Miss Katie was a stray, left for the coyotes and rescued by friends in Midland, Texas. She is a sweet, gentle pooch with a heart of gold!

People often wonder just what trainers give the sheepdog in exchange for its boundless willingness. Food treats and praise sit on the trainer's shelf, untouched, unused. The sheepdog is shown its possibilities, he learns what life is like for a good dog and is invited to walk in a rational world whose farthest boundaries are defined by grace.
