Goat-herding dog refuses to leave flock amid California wildfires and survives through it

For years, humans and animals have lived side by side as we use them for food and farming. Before modern farming technology like tractors, we needed animals more than ever to help our crops grow, and that meant looking after them. One way farmers used to ensure their livestock were kept safely was to use herding dogs, that could do the work of several farmers on their own.
They became necessary for getting sheep and goats from one paddock to another to stop them from eating all of the grass in one field. One goat herding dog took his job very seriously and made looking after his flock a job to be proud of. Then a wildfire ravaged through the farm’s area, and it was time for everyone to leave, but the dog stayed behind, refusing to leave his herd.
When the farmer returned he was expecting the worse, but amazingly his dog and herd remained alive. This is the story of Odin, the goat-herding dog and his heroics to save his flock from a fire.

This is Odin, the goat-herding dog named after a Norse god, who loves nothing more than looking after his flock. Like many dogs on farms, he has been trained from a very young age to control herds of animals to make them go where farmers want them.

It takes a lot of skill to train a dog in this way, but the animals seem to love it as they are super smart and love being given jobs to do.
