Friday 4th November 2022

A paw warming news pupdate from here in the UK as a working sheepdog who had his leg amputated refuses to retire and just gets back to what he loves best. Literally, bossing it.

Say hello to Boss, who’s spent his whole life herding sheep in Perthshire Scotland, but this summer went missing for eight days. When they found him and took him to the vet for extensive tests, It turned out that poor Boss had become depressed and run away because he had terrible nerve damage to his leg and wasn’t able to do the job he loved anymore.

His mum, shepherdess Anna MacKinnon who had been worried sick, had to make the heart breaking decision to amputate Boss’s leg. She thought that would be it and that boss would now be a couch potato, but nobody could have predicted what happened next. A mere three weeks after his stitches were removed, Boss couldn’t wait to get back to work, and amazingly, and inspiringly, he’s just as fast and efficient at sheepherding as he ever was!
