A self-taught cow herder, a member of the home team: Meet CDT's cutest pet winners
Oakley, a collie from Coburn, won the dog competition with 34% of votes, while Jackie Robinson, a domestic medium hair from State College, won the cat competition with 46%.
She wasn’t meant to be a farm dog, but when Buck brought her to her dairy farm, Oakley took to chasing cows from the pasture into the barn.
Oakley, originally Missy, came into Buck’s life more than a year after she lost the first dog she owned as an adult, another collie named Sterling, to Lyme disease. It took more than a year for her to decide on a new dog.
“It was Easter Sunday, and we were waiting to go to my parents for dinner,” she said. “I must have just felt ready or something came over me, and I started looking at blue merle collies online, and Oakley popped up.”
And so Buck drove hours to Sugar Creek, Ohio to pick up Oakley, learning only when she met her that the dog had one blue eye and one brown.
