Jack is a Border Collie, born and raised to herd sheep. But while he is still a pup, his family falls on hard times and sells all of the puppies. Suddenly stuck with a family and no sheep, Jack skips out. But he doesn't know how to get back to his real family and the sheep and he wanders the town, hungry and lonely until he runs across the Goat Man. The Goat Man names him Shep and takes him along on his caravan from Mexico to Canada with his goats. But all good things come to an end, and Jack finds himself moving on again, sometimes finding love and sometimes hate, and always finding a new name. But Jack is always looking for those sheep he misses until he finally comes up against a challenge--someone who needs him more than Jack needs the sheep. Can he make a happy ending happen? This feel good story is a search for what you really want in life; and it might turn out to be something different than you thought it would be.
