Many interesting anecdotes are told of the shepherd's 
tyke or colley, as this kind of Dog is frequently called, 
particularly of its sagacity in rescuing sheep from snow- 
drifts. When sheep are missing in a snow-storm, as is 
frequently the case in Scotland and the North of England, 
the shepherd arms himself with a spade, and watching 
the motions of his faithful Dog, digs into the snow 
wherever the Dog begins to scratch it away, and is thus 
sure to find his lost sheep. 
This valuable boon .to the shepherd is the least vora- 
cious of his kind, and endures fatigue and hunger with 
patience.
