Overview

DO BORDER COLLIES DREAM OF SHEEP? is the story of how the wolf became the dog and how the dog became our very best friend. It's about two working dogs, how they were born on a farm and how one stayed to become a stock dog like her mother, her grandmother and all her ancestors before her. And it's about the other pup who was chosen to be a service dog and left the small farm where she was born to be with her human partner 24/7 and ride in taxies, go to restaurants and navigate the crowded streets of one of the busiest cities in the world. This is the unique story of how two pups grew up and into their jobs, became very different, and yet stayed very much the same.

"Lassie Comes Home, Adam's Task, The Plague Dogs, White Fang, Winterdance: classic dog books inhabit a mysterious, magical space where two unalike species love and comprehend one another. 'Do Border Collies Dream of Sheep?' is such a classic. Carol Lea Benjamin and Denise Wall have written a beautiful, fascinating book; a book that does full honor to all dogs." ~Best-selling author, Donald McCaig

About the Author

When she was a little girl, Carol's mother was hoping she'd become the next Shirley Temple because she had naturally curly hair. It was a curious wish because Carol couldn't hold a tune, act or dance. What Carol wanted, from as far back as she could remember, was to become a dog trainer and a writer. After trying several other things along the way, teaching school, working as a private investigator, typing the same letter over and over for a charity, she finally did get both her wishes. Her books have won many fans and many awards, for which she is extremely grateful. But most satisfying is that she has been able to help dogs behave better, get smarter and be more fun for their people and that she has been able to mine what her mother used to call her "overactive imagination" and tell stories for people to read after - or instead of - a hard day's work. She still can't sing, dance or act, but some few people think she can write and she maintains this illusion herself.
