City dogs discover Ewe-topia

On a ranch outside of Seattle, city dogs are getting back to their roots. They're ditching doggie-day cares and play dates to learn about their great-great-great grandparents, who herded cattle in Northern Europe and chased sheep across dry ranch land in Australia. At a place called Ewe-topia (yes, that really is its name), dogs are being trained to herd livestock.
