Dog plow in Belgium, WW1, 1916

The Australian National Sheep Dog Trial Championships wrapped up a couple of weeks back, with Ramulam Prickles being crowned champion. The result was quite the upset for border collie enthusiasts, as this is the first time in 70(ish?) years that a kelpie has taken the top spot.
Nevertheless, our champion remains nonchalant, taking the first available opportunity to leave the award ceremony and seek out some more sheep.
This photo was taken immediately after the award presentation. It had been a long and busy week for everyone, especially for the dogs and handlers who had competed in the finals, but our champ still looks bright eyed and ready to go.

Today we honor U.S. military and working dogs who have served alongside our armed forces in detection, search and rescue, patrol, and protection — saving countless lives.
At PCB, we also celebrate the incredible partnership between people and working dogs, including guide dogs who support independence for individuals who are blind or have low vision.
