Angel, the Dog of the Day
Name: Angel
Age: Three years old
Gender: Female Breed: Australian Shepherd
Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
 
   This is Angel. This picture was taken in Vancouver when we went there for vacation on Christmas (was visiting the family). She helps around our farm, and is our best herding dog. She's a wonderful dog to be with, and is great around children. Once, one of the sheep got out onto the highway. A truck was driving, and the driver was holding up a map, not paying attention to the road. But before our sheep got hit, Angel jumped out and scared it off the road. Instead of our sheep getting hurt, Angel got hit. The driver stopped the truck as soon as he heard the thump, which you could hear from across the farm, or so my brother says. Angel was taken to a hospital. She would be all right, but her right hip was badly wounded, and her neck was a bit twisted. Today she is fine, and still works with us on the farm! We are glad that she recovered, she is such a wonderful dog!
