The Working Dogs page of the Ranching With Sheep website provides a place to read and share stories of the value of working dogs:  

http://www.ranching-with-sheep.com/working-dogs.html
Anyone using their dogs in small or large ways to help manage stock is welcome to post in one of three categories: 

1)  For working dogs, a place to share a great working dog story.

2)  For herding breeds, a place to share the working qualities of your breed.

3)  For livestock guardian dogs, a place to share how you use LGD's and the remarkable qualities you see in them.
