Old Blue the Border Collie Leaves a Lasting Hoofprint
Wilson Adams of Eastside Church of Christ in Baytown shares a heartfelt memory of Old Blue, a senior Border Collie who joined his family, herded goats, chased trucks, and ultimately was humanely put to sleep after years of companionship. The story recalls the dog’s deafness, loyalty, and the family’s grief as the UPS driver and others remembered the beloved pet.
