This is why I love Border Collies

One day, in the future, I will live in a situation where I can have a Border Collie.
A long read. Keep the tissues handy!

1. Wow. What a wonderful dog.

Yes, tissues needed - a beautiful story about a dog doing hospice work.

2. Great story

I decided to read it because I live near Ft. Edward and I also had a part border collie companion years ago named "Poppy". All we kids had to do was make a whimper noise and she come running to give kisses and make us feel better. They are awesome dogs.

Wonderful testament to the connection between humans and animals.
