                              The cattle dogs wait for the new batch of cattle arriving from ranging


There are stories about cattle dogs (just like cowboys) abroad.  But I never saw one in reality.  Until today. There were three such dogs in my uncles cattle farm in Tanay Rizal.  Earlier during the day, they just waited for scraps and that was OK for them.

The dogs helped load the cattle into the transporter.  They worked together with cowhands, barking in unison, occasional nipping the cattle at their legs. I heard too, that the there  deer that was shot  and heard that the dog was a hunter too.  Great dogs.
