We are shooting a documentary film about our crazy little town, Viroqua, in the mystic, unglaciated lands of SW Wisconsin USA.

Last year we filmed the "last farmer in Viroqua" segment.... during the shoot the farmer's dog lumbered about. We all noticed how morose he appeared. The farmer shared that he used to be the best cattle dog he'd ever seen.

He would proudly keep the cows in line, and after many years clearly came to love each animal in the herd.

As things go in our land of industrialized animal exploitation, the farmer eventually could no longer make money from the cattle and they were sold off en mass.... the entire herd was likely slaughtered soon after. One day all his friends were suddenly gone and probably all dead.

To this day, the sad dog wanders about, looking to the pastures for his beloved herd.
