Fit, a Border Collie owned by Florida Farm Bureau members Cindy and Andrew Deak, was named Farm Dog of the Year earlier this week during the group’s annual convention. She’s been with the Deaks since she was a puppy and helps move sheep from pasture to pasture.

(includes video) “Fit is pretty much my right-hand dog or right-hand girl,” Cindy explained. “If I’m on the farm, Fit’s almost always with me, as our prime working dog. We’re very kindred spirits. I feel like our souls are almost connected.”
Purina donated $5,000 for Fit and a year’s supply of Pro-Plan dog food and prizes for four runners-up listed in the article.
