From the moment Katz and Orson meet, when the dog springs from his traveling crate at Newark airport and panics the baggage claim area, their relationship is deep, stormy, and loving. At two years old, Katzs new companion is a great herder of school buses, a scholar of refrigerators, but a dud at herding sheep.
Everything Katz attempts obedience training, herding instruction, a new name, acupuncture, herb and alternative therapieshelps a little but not enough, and not for long. Like all border collies and many dogs, Katz writes, he needed work. I didnt realize for some time I was the work Orson would find.
