even her stable door, and from that time be attached himself
exclusively to the horses and their stable.

The cattle were mine, the horses were my brother's, and in
transferring his allegiance from the cow-stable to the horse-stable
Bingo seemed to give me up too, and anything like daily
companionship ceased, and yet, whenever any emergency arose
Bingo turned to me and I to him, and both seemed to feel that the
bond between man and dog is one that lasts as long as life.

The only other occasion on which Bingo acted as cowherd was in
the autumn of the same year at the annual Carberry Fair, Among
the dazzling inducements to enter one's stock thcre was, in
addition to a prospect of glory, a cash prize of 'two dollars' for the
'best collie in training,'

Misled by a false friend, I entered Bingo, and early on the day
fixed, the cow was driven to the prairie just outside of the village.
When the time came she was pointed out to Bingo and the word
given--'Go fetch the cow.' lt was the intention, of course, that he
should bring her to me at the judge's stand.

But the animals knew better. They hadn't rehearsed all summer for
nothing. When Dunne saw Bingo's careering form she knew that
her only hope for safety was to get into her stable, and Bingo was
equally sure that his sole mission in life was to quicken her pace in
that direction. So off they raced over the prairie, like a wolf after
a deer, and heading straight toward their home two miles way,
they disappeared from view.
