Is there a Dog?
My dog and I sorting out who the rightful owner of this stick is:
 Angus is a nearly-8 year old border collie, rescued from...the New England Border Collie rescue league about 5 years ago. His previous owners kept him in the basement, did not understand bc's intensity and needs whatsoever, and on top of that he was over-inoculated with the rabies vaccine as a puppy, which has caused some strange behaviors (says the vet). He's my buddy and has bonded with me closer than most people have. At nearly 75 lbs, he is big for a border collie, and has crazy looking wolf eyes and big teeth that can be pretty intimidating if you are on his bad or unknown side. (Secretly a big baby, though).

I would think very seriously about giving him the stick, and possibly a pile of extra sticks whenever he wants one!
 Nice looking pup. Miss my old Malamute...

ha ha, happy dog & happy owner.
A guy down the road from us has 3 border collies. When I walk by with my dogs, they come out and try rounding us into the driveway. Its fun to watch them work as a team, nudging and barking. Really beautiful dogs, with lots of personality

The stick? It's HIS.....just ask him.
My Lab is huge for his breed, about 102lbs and he's NOT your typical fat lab. Congrats for saving a good dog from a torturous life in a basement. He loves you for it and that's why he's your bonded friend.
