Ranch Dog : A Tribute to the Working Dog in the American West (Just Pets (Half Pint Edition))

Through a combination of photographs, short essays and cowboy poetry, Ranch Dog: A Tribute to the Working Dog in the American West celebrates the lives of the working ranch dog. These working dogs represent many different breeds for cattle, sheep and other livestock herding - including the Catahoula Hound, Australian Cattle Dog,  Border Collie, Black Mouth Cur and of course, the occasional mongrel. When in their element, doing what they have been bred and trained to do, there are few things that can compare to the sheer joy and amazement one experiences while looking on in disbelief as these tireless dogs go about their work.
