Opis

Jon Katz leaves the suburbs for a remote farm in order to give border collie puppy Rose a true taste of herding life. Rose's adventures start early, going head to head with a head-butting ram the day the sheep arrive. She soon establishes a routine for the sheep, chickens & donkeys & Jon that makes everything run like clockwork.

Recenzje

"Jon Katz understands dogs as few others do, intuitively and unburdened by sentimentality. His keen insights cut to the heart of the human-pet relationship - its immense joys and painful sorrows. With wisdom and grace, he unlocks the canine soul and the complicated wonders that lie within and offers powerful inights to anyone who has ever struggled with, and loved, a troubled animal" John Grogan, author of MARLEY AND ME
