Scout was a super 4 year old collie cross breed with a lovely temperament, highly intelligent and very obedient and loving. He was a happy and relaxed individual and as soon as he arrived made himself at home within a few minutes. I really warmed to him as he was what I call a real “doggy dog” and his large soft brown eyes were bright with knowledge and understanding.
We went out for a lovely walk in the surrounding countryside which was lush and green at that time of year. The crops hadn’t ripened yet and the fields were covered in a multitude of green spiky ears of corn which undulated in the warm summer breeze like an emerald sea.
Scout was a great walking companion and we stopped a few times to admire the scenery. I took the opportunity to take a few photos and he was more than happy to pose for me as my willing assistant.
Although he only stayed for one night he made a big impression on me and I felt really sorry when the time came for him to go home as I would have loved to have kept him with me as my trusty companion.
