In
Scotland, a shepherd relies heavily on his companion dog to round up
his animals. For every one mile the shepherd travels, it's estimated
that the dog travels 15 miles. The collies work in response to either
whistles or traditional Scottish commands. "Come by" tells
the dog to move the animals to the left. "Away to me is the command
to move the animals to the right. It's in this tradition that the Border
Collies are bred, trained, and used as herd dogs today.
