A nice heart warming story to counter all the usual bad news. Thanks for sharing it.

What a great story, and a truly amazing dog, swimming 5 miles to start off with! (although I feel sorry for those baby goats *cries*) I can't imagine the joy the family, including Sophie, felt when they were reunited, After so much bad news all the time, it's great to read a story like this one. By the way, we had a cattle dog years back (r.i.p. sweet Tumbles, her urn is sitting in the living room) who looked just like her. They really are a very smart, determined breed of dog : )

My girl Nadine was an Australian cattle dog. We were best friends for over fifteen years. I used to say that if ever there were a nuclear holocaust, the only survivors would be the cockroaches, and Nadine eating the cockroaches. This story doesn't surprise me in the least... but it sure gives me the warm fuzzies.
Boy, I miss that ole *****!

I've been an animal lover since the day I was born. Its nice to see a "good" animal story as opposed to the horror stories you usually read about animals being mistreated
