Meet Phillip (Philly) Cheesesteak — my Border Collie × Blue Heeler mix and my best friend.

Phil was born on a ranch near my hometown, Gordon, Nebraska. He is super smart and a crazy dog. He loves going on adventures and herding pigs and cows.

Phil is a herding dog so he loves working and chasing, but his absolute favorite is fetch. He catches frisbees (out of the air it’s very impressive) and chases soccer balls (he’s really good at dribbling). Once I finally get him worn out, he loves relaxing and sitting by my side while I work.


More photos and stories of Phillip coming soon.
