Dog tired of sheep life now wants to be with humans
A five-year-old Border Collie named Sam, bred for herding sheep in Cumbria, did not develop the drive needed for farm work and prefers spending time with humans instead.
Sam failed to progress in training alongside other young sheepdogs due to his lack of enthusiasm for herding sheep.
Marion Yates, general manager at Animal Rescue Cumbria, stated that farmers need dogs with real drive to herd sheep, whereas Sam prefers human companionship.
Sam is now cared for by an animal sanctuary that takes in working dogs more suited as family pets.
