Shepherd and his reliable herding dog waiting to commence their run during a herding trial, taken near Beaverlodge, Alberta – Canada.

Although most of the photographs taken at this herding event were of the dogs working, some of the best moments occurred either behind-the-scenes or while the dogs and handlers were waiting patiently for their turn. There’s often a story in these simple moments. I love the story that’s lurking within this image.
