Share your favorite dog story, your favorite breed (s), a funny moment, etc. I was walking with my border collie and my 3 year old great grandson down to the mail box a few days ago when my neighbor called me over to say hello and chat. I live in a cul-de-sac and while chatting, I let my guard down for a second. Suddenly, my dog took off like a bullet, which is rare, because she never leaves my side, and she wasn't on a leash. When I looked off to my left, the little guy was rapidly making his way to the main road. Although my border collie has no formal training, she instinctively had herded my great grand son into my neighbor's yard and was gently hanging on to him by the seat of his jeans and giving off a high pitch squeal to alert me. Child safe,lesson learned, dog greatly appreciated. I hear border collies are one of the top 3 smartest dog breeds, if not the smartest. Probably showing a little bias here, but the way that animal herded and subdued that child was extremely impressive.
