One morning, we watched, a bit sadly, as park workers and dogs herded dozens of wild and frightened sheep onto trucks to be taken off the island by barge.

The dogs strained on their leashes as the guards herded the inmates toward the doctor at the end of the ramp.

The dog had obediently herded and harried Alfred to this point by nipping at the man's heels.

We think of these dogs herding sheep, but their own definitions of work are much more fluid.

Similarly, a dog that appears to be keeping a toddler from walking into the street may simply be herding the child the way its ancestors herded sheep or cattle.

Seeing-eye dogs, which are usually shepherds, are herding dogs.

Emrys had already started back and the dog was herding the single sheep back down the slope with him.

In one corner, a dog with a distant trace of Berov's collie was herding sheep, one by one, through a ramp to be slaughtered.

The dog rounded up the flock of sheep and herded them into the barn.

One shepherd - the former hippie - and his dog herded them ahead of us up the Avenue Malingie.
