One of the unusual and remarkable things about Red is that he has several distinctly different personas. In the pasture, he is the absolute monarch, his presence is strong and unchallenged. In his therapy work, he is a gentle, even shy, spirit, he taps into the souls of people.

I am touched by both of these personas, but I think the soul of Red is really most on display when he is commanding the sheep, who are always aware of him and respond to him instantly.
