While in Patagonia

On my last trip to Patagonia I hung out with an old friend of mine from the early days, Guido, a wind-burned gaucho who trains gnarly dogs that chase and herd long-tailed sheep. Here I am in this picture helping Guido train the dogs by showing them how to keep the sheep from going through the fence behind me. Chip, the lead dog, was off and running after a stray, so I had a hard time keeping his attention. I'm not sure dogs are really right for this job, but they seem to like running and they don't charge much. Guido helped me out by handling my horse for me while I got down on the ground with the dogs.
