Nori has delighted many a child giving rides in her specially made cart.
Her owner
writes: "Nori came to live with me when she was ten months old,
and has spent the past nine years thanking me for deciding to take her
home. She will cheerfully do anything asked of her if I can just help
her understand what I want. It doesn't hurt if she thinks there
might be food involved as well."
"She is one of only a dozen collies to have earned AKC titles in obedience, tracking, herding, and agility. We also enjoy participating in the SDTC Drill Team, and Nori's cart pulling skills have been put to use in parades and kids cart rides as a Humane Society Fund Raiser. If I could just teach her to fold the clean laundry instead of distributing it throughout the house, she would be the perfect companion."
