I like collies. They are very intelligent dogs and great with kids. We had one when I was a kid.
Someone shot her though.
She didn't die right away. We think it was 1 or 2close-range BB shots in the back. She came back home and was fine for a couple of days. Then she started looking sick. We took her to the vet to have her checked out and the stupid vet said she was fine.
After a few days, she died and that's when we noticed she had a couple of very small gunshots under her fur. We never caught the @$$ that did it, but he deserves a good beating.
We also had a mini collie recently that was the sweetest dog. Someone stole her out of our yard. What the heck is wrong with people today?
