Working Dogs, Running Dogs

Running Dogs

Gus worships Red and studies him carefully in the pasture, He is trying to learn from him, and when I sent Red off on an outrun, Gus takes off right behind him. Gus does not have the long and powerful legs that Red does, but he is quick as a rabbit and keeps up with him.

It is, to me, a remarkable sight to see these two – yin and yang- running out in the pasture. Red never acknowledges Gus or pay the slightest bit of attention to him, I think Gus believes himself to be a herding dog now and is quite pleased with himself. He is lightning fast too, but not asĀ  fast as Red.
