A hero border collie has saved a flock of sheep as a wall of fire destroyed farmland in Australia. Patsy the six-year-old working dog rounded the sheep up with a farmer as the flames bore down on them in the rural town of Corryong in Victoria. She brought them to the safest paddock on the farm as her owner fought the fire in a tractor with a tank of water. Thanks to Patsy and her owner, almost all of the sheep were saved, along with the hay bales, silage, shearing shed, and farm houses. Cath Hill shared pictures of her brother’s ‘wonder dog’ sitting on the scorched farmland with the saved sheep and smoke-filled sky in the background. One shocking picture shows Patsy during the rescue with the flames getting ever closer behind her.
