This is one of the dogs entered in a herding dog trial we attended today. She's actually a rough collie (i.e., Lassie type) and not a border collie, but sheep herding doesn't discriminate; if the dog can work the sheep, no one cares if she's a corgie, a rough collie, or a black lab. I caught this sweetie (forgot her name) while she and her owner were waiting their turn on the field. How could anyone resist those eyes?

PS - nothing but quick auto contrast.
