This is an inspiring story of devotion between man and man’s best friend. This relevant story starts out on Black Tuesday, right at the dawn of World War II. At that time it took on meaning for those who would grieve the departure of loved ones and would anticipate their safe return. This story is an antidote for those who are in the same situation.
Shep is about a stray shepherds dog who meets with a man without hope. After they meet John’s bad luck takes a complete turn. He learns all about herding sheep. He falls in love and builds a house. Just when his life is complete tragedy strikes.
It’s a story of God’s love and forgiveness. This saga weaves in a family of Irish Immigrants, the Fitzpatrick’s and their culture of working sheep. It takes place before the Taylor Act, where there was a free range war going on between the cowboys and the sheepherders.
It has the classic idea of pulling for the literal underdog who’s on the right side defeating the over dog who’s on the wrong side which is a strong American mythology. This is the type of story where true legends are made.
It’s a heartwarming, tearjerker, with a redemptive ending reaffirms one’s belief. It’s the classic Irish account, where life’s tragic struggle brings meaning. Shep’s a tale that will hold the test of time, because of it’s universal themes of good triumphing over evil. Some historians think that it was our relationship with dog’s that permitted us to leave the hunter gatherer state, because of the work load they took off our lives. This story tells why Border Collies are worth their weight in gold. The Border Collie is considered the genetic Archetype of working dogs. They’re considered the most intelligent dogs in the world.
The Author Kevin Davis went to Hollywood and won a National Television Show Animal Pet Contest with his Border Collie, Kena ‘The Soccer Dog.’ During Kena’s performance, the host Mario Lopez compared her soccer ability to David Beckham. After the show his breeder, Don Marshall told Kevin that he knew someone in Hollywood.

Just get me a story!”
