Seth eventually found something in need of fixing- A few sheep out of line. He broke his lying down position, and got into his standing position quickly, ready to do what he was trained to do. He had to make sure those sheep didn't move too far out of line, after all, part of his job was to make sure that the sheep were all in their proper places. Seth trudged along the terrain that consisted of rocks, dirt, grass, and more dirt, making his way towards the sheep that were out of line. He was walking with moderate speed, not a slow walk, not a fast walk. The sheep weren't that far out of line, therefor there would be no reason to rush.
As he got closer to the sheep, he noticed a little pup not too far from the sheep he was about to herd. Not paying much attention to the small puppy, who appeared to be an Australian Shepherd.
Seth begun to slowly but steadily gain speed as he advanced towards the sheep. His legs moved quicker, and his trot eventually grew into a jog, and the jog grew into a run. The run brought him to the sheep faster than he expected- Oh well, fast is hardly ever bad.
By the time he had gotten to his destination; the sheep, they were starting to wander away from the herd, and the herd was starting to follow. Without a second thought, Seth started sprinting at the sheep, and the sheep started running from him. Of course, Seth was a bit faster than the sheep, and he wouldn't let that happen. He barked at the sheep as his sprint gained even more speed, and he was at the side of the sheep herd now. He purposely bumped his body into the main sheep that was causing all the mayhem, causing it to get pushed back into line slightly.
His sprint grey even more, and he begun to slow down the herd by managing to circle it once. Then twice. Then three times.
It wasn't long before the sheep were back into their place, and they were calm again.
Seth plopped down by the herd, panting more than usually due to the heat outside. He noticed it was hotter than yesterday, and he wasn't fond of running in the heat.
