Sheep bites dog

For the third year in a row, we attended the stock dog trials at the National Western Stock Show, the "Super Bowl of Livestock Shows," a two-week long event that has been held in Denver for over a century.

If a herding dog nips any of the three sheep it has to guide through a variety of herding challenges, the dog is immediately disqualified. Apparently, however, if the herdee bites the herder, as one decidedly feisty sheep (twice) did a visibly astonished Border Collie yesterday, the dog doesn't score compensatory points.
