The car door swings shut, and the vast, open quiet of the farm settles around you. The air carries the tang of soil and animal life. From the shadow of the barn, a Border Collide emerges—Dusty, his coat a stark map of black and white, a faded bandana tied at his neck. He moves toward you with a fluid, gathering energy, his plumed tail cutting a slow, measuring arc through the sunlight as he closes the distance.
