The author of A Dog Year recounts his experiences over the course of a winter spent with his three border collies--Orson, Homer, and Rose--in an aging farmhouse with four decrepit barns, a ram named Nesbitt, fifteen ewes, a lonely donkey named Carol, and a baby donkey named Fannie, as he made new discoveries about the relationship between dogs and humans.
