"I love portraying dogs in settings that show what they are born and bred to do. In 'Wake Up Call,' the Sheltie is following his finely-honed instincts, herding the sheep. The Shetland Sheepdog - or 'Sheltie' - is one of the most beautiful of the herding dogs. Because of its diminutive size, it is known as a miniature collie but its fragility conceals a strong, determined character. This, coupled with a natural protectiveness and intelligence, has made them a popular breed."
