Breed: Koolie x Kelpie
Barking from: Jamberoo, NSW
What's up dog?
Our dog Bruce is so loyal to our family we have four children ages from 10 - 1 that love and adore him. Bruce plays so well with them and always looking after them as his own.
When the kids do things they aren't supposed to be doing he barks to tell mum and dad something is up.
One incident happened a while ago, I went to run out to the front part of the house outside for something and didn't realise my youngest daughter had followed me outside and I didnt shut the gate behind me it was wide open. (Silly me) Anyways I could hear my daughter giggling all the sudden and I ran over to the back gate worried to find Bruce herding little Sophia and blocking her from exiting out the gate. Sophia thought she could get away but Bruce was being very calm and just kept changing directions so she wouldn't get out because he knows the kids aren't allowed out.
I was so proud of him and thankful he was paying attention.
We live on a dairy farm and he is always trying to be helpful with getting the cows in with us and just being a happy friendly family farm dog.
