Shepherds and Border Collies make wonderful family dogs. Bright, loyal and loving, great with kids, sweet dispositions and stable temperaments. We lost our 13-year-old Border Collie about eight months ago, still miss her like crazy.

[@SeansModelBuilds]

My Childhood Dog Shadow was a Collie/Shephard mix. We lost her 25 years ago yesterday. But she lived for 15 years, 7 months: from when I was 3 to 18 and a half.

I am so sorry for your loss :(

[@merange1]

I have a Border Collie/Great Pyrenees mix. She saved me from two men who had been sneaking up behind me while I worked in the yard. She came through the front door, screen door, and a 6ft wooden gate to stop them. Her copious coat blew up, her head down and snarling, she held them stationary. They had to stand in the street, mute, until I got to the gate and called her in.

We lived in the country and I had two Dobermans to protect the home stead both female. My daughter had just learned to walk. I left the patio door open for the dogs to get out of the rain. As I put my daughter down she took a few steps and the older doberman blocked her from going further and was acting like she was trying to talk, not barking. My younger doberman was jumping through the air back and forth through the open door. I was putting on my shoes but I stood up because of the odd behavior. And there coiled up just inside the door was a huge cotton mouth, spitting its tongue and throwing it's head back over it's body mouth wide open. When I read your story I thought of my daughter and her new son and how much I and my family would have lost. That day I changed as a human. God bless you.

Dogs are amazing! My lab collie mix saved me and my baby from a charging bull moose that was only 75ft away from us on our walk! The moose stopped and stared at us when we saw each other, the pawed the ground, lowered his head (he had a large rack) and charged! I didn't even know my dog was outside at the time. She ran up and attacked him, chased him into the woods. I grabbed tge baby out of the stroller and ran to the house. My dog didn't come home for 3 hours. I though the moose killed her. She came back okay though.❤ Forever grateful.

My border collie aussie mix grabed my hand on a hike, turned me around and started pulling me down the trail back towards our truck. I was confused, but allowed her to do it. A few yards down the trail I heard a sound, turned, and saw a cougar in the trees were my pup grabbed my hand. If I had gone further, we would have been right under that big cat. I love my pup, and trust her when we hike. If she says, let's leave, we leave. I'm glad this pup, and yours, saved lives.

Definitely the genetics of the dog kicked in, an Australian Shepherd is a herding breed, you can see by the way he moves around the kids. He's always making sure the baby doesn't go certain directions it would have been the same as if that dog was out there with a herd of sheep and there was a snake the dog would have I herded of the sheep away from the danger. That dog is amazing to of taken care of his little owner the way he did. That pupper definitely deserves all the good boys and treats.

@@user-we6ee9mr8x Oh man, I feel sorry for you at this moment. I was there, for 49 years an atheist, just knew it was all a load of BS. Then I was woken up, a few supernatural experiences, they certainly make you think, and recognise there's good and evil out there. Subsequently found when I actually read the scriptures and studied them and earth's history, it was impossible to deny there is a Creator and that Jesus did live, die and get resurrected. SO I got baptised, then things went crazy for me, including meeting God physically on earth, attacks by Satan and other really evil things, being taught all of God's laws and publishing that, persuading God to change the course of prophesied things to come, AND forcing God to get rid of Satan. Now, I know you won't believe any of that, but you should look out shortly for a man popping up all over the world doing miracles. You will see videos on yt and eslewhere no doubt. Then governments will begin a worldwide manhunt for that man, but it will be futile, he's God's messenger and future king. Hopefully you will come to believe the truth before 2032, because that's when unbelievers will face God's wrath. 2malachi.com, there's a miracle in a recent blog post, on video, pre-announced.

I'm sorry that you feel the need to pick at people's faith, it doesn't do anything but paint you as a miserable person who feels personally offended by someone else's belief in a higher power. You don't have to believe, but in all honesty, is it really mature or beneficial to your viewpoint at all when you make a point to mock a complete stranger?

Dog bless this family. I had a similar experience in Brasil. A friend's hound dog, Vinni, jumped back from something on the lawn which turned out to be a coral snake in the grass.

How about you give the credit to the dog who deserves and has earned it? If you hear a disembodied voice speaking to you, seek help for your mental health, because it isn’t “the lord” talking.

God: puts dog there to protect child from snake. Also God: puts snake in path of baby to bite dog.

not necessarily. At times, His perfect or direct will in in play; at other times, His permissive will is at work, whereby he allows a thing to happen rather than cause it. Learn the difference.

[@dave9401]

@@watchgoose it's a joke ffs, relax. Either way it's still God's will. He's omniscient therefore he knew this was going to happen, he's omnipresent, so he just stood by and watched and he's omnipotent but did nothing. Your god uses bears to murder children, learn the difference between benevolence and bat shit crazy 🤣😇

[@dave9401]

@@lathafalls7675 we could get into the philosophy of whether God/god should be given a proper noun capital or not but that was just a typo. Secondly, you need to check your old testament; II Kings 2: 23-24 Elisha curses some children in the name of the Lord as they teased him for being bald. The Lord sends two female bears to maul the 42 children. Look it up, that's just one of many bat shit psycho moves God has pulled.

Aren’t the parents immeasurably embarrassed that an Aussie is a superior parent to them? And that’s why the US is the WCE
