Gus seems pretty fearless sometimes, but he knows when to move. This morning, Red was right behind the sheep, Fate was cruising alongside them, Gus was standing in front of them.

They were in a hurry, with two border collies up their asses (and Maria with her new Iphone camera) and Gus shot out to the left just ahead of them. A good herding dog needs to be brave, but also smart.
