Description
Echo and Hush are sheepdogs, who live on a High Country sheep station, with Terry the farmer and Ngaire, his wife. Echo is a header dog, with a loud bark that echoes through the hills and brings the sheep together in the muster. Hush is an eye dog, whose silent commands work best in the yard. Together they help Terry manage his flock - until Hush begins to get very fat, and Ngaire starts keeping her in her pen. Now Terry has to depend on Echo, who finds it hard without her workmate, as she battles with the rebellious sheep. When show day comes, Echo's humiliation is complete...until she remembers how Hush made the sheep obey and tries something new.
