About the Book
The sheep closed in around him like a big, woolly blanket. The puppy had
never been so scared or so excited in his life. Soon he was racing,
feinting, dodging—learning what it means to be one of the proud breed of
Border collies, the finest sheepherders in the world. Then, almost
overnight, his life is turned upside down. He finds himself in a series
of strange places, with no sheep, his family gone. With nothing but the
courage he was born with and a dream, he searches for the life he once
knew, gathering names and adventures as he goes. For a short time, he's
called Blackie. To the Goat Man, he's Shep. To Hollerin, he's Spot.
There's one name that threatens to haunt him forever—Sparky, the name
Billy the circus man calls him. But there's another name that he is
given, one that finally makes him feel at home...
