My 5 yr old, 60lb puppy

[Major Nikon]

I've had Baily the dog for about a year. His previous owner was going through a nasty divorce and couldn't keep him. Her former husband had threatened to hurt the dog if she didn't take him, but she couldn't take him with her. I came across him just in time before she was going to take him to the pound. He's an AKC registered Border Collie. He's very active and will literallly chase a ball or frisbee until he colapses (I haven't tested this, but I have yet to find a limit to his desire for play). At any rate, Border Collies aren't for everyone, but Bailey is the perfect dog for us.

This picture was taken with my Nikon D7000 with a Tokina 12-24 f/4 wide angle lens.

Give him a job, like herding ??? ants/cockroaches/mice/whatever pests hang around your place?

Is that the Atlantic or Pacific--or something else--behind him?

8. Actually he likes play more than food

He was watching my daughter and her friends play in the water and it was hard to keep him still just long enough to take the picture.

12. I have this dogs brother!!!

Keegan is about 6, we rescued him about 6 months ago. The rescue group saved him from a bad situation, living on a deck of a house.

He too is high energy, very puppy like, plays with all his toys, chases squirrels, and is one helluva great dog.

He has that same face, big mouth and happy smile.
