I have an accompany these days when I take a walk in the footpath of Rad Lane, Abinger Hammer. It is a sheep dog, with white and patches of black on, probably, her body. I knew sheep dogs are very clever. It was a Japanese animation, Heidi, when I first saw a sheep dog guding sheep in the Alpine montain fields. Next one is a BBC programme called "rural life" featuring people's life in villages and farms. I think it was in Cornwall where one clever sheep dog takes care of sheep for the farmer, who is sitting on a big stone placed in the cliff facing the ocean.
The sheep dog, my recent friend, is owned by a my neighbour farmer (who runs Rad farm, mainly specialises chicken and eggs), but with so much curiosity, she runs from nowhere as soon as she finds my smell to accompany with me for a walk. She is not so obedient to me, of course. Sometimes, she disappears in the corn field. But about 15 minutes later, when I reached the sheep field, she suddenly come back out of howthorn hedges and walk with me, sometimes looking back if I am following her!
She passes through her own farm house, and kindly bring me back to my house. And, after she confirms I am defnitely home,
she finally comes back to her home... How clever and kind this dog is!
