Where in the heck was the family dog?
My collie—Lassie type—would not let my adopted todler sister pass our fence line going up to grandma’s place which was across the fence. There was a private dirt road between us but the collie would not let Bonnie walk past that fence line. Collie kept putting Collie’s body between Bonnie and Grandma’s.
No one trained her to do that.
Great question, Spatha.
Should have been preventing the baby from leaving or shepherding that little one back home or barking its head off to raise the alarm.
