It is not a simple thing to charm Zelda, I know, I’ve been trying to do it for years. She has butted me and knocked me down several times, and led several breakouts out into the woods. She is a tough sheep, and Gus is winning her over day by day, one lick on the nose at a time.

Zelda keeps approaching Gus with some attitude thinking of driving him away or stomping him. Each time, he seems to stand his  ground and find a way to charm her. He thinks he is a great hound, and that may turn out to be true.
