  1. There was a dog in Gleancollie the time of the big snow. There were a hundred sheep covered with snow. The sheep dog saw the sheep getting covered with snow. The dog kept barking and he gathered all the people of the village and they dug up the sheep out of the snow. It was the dog that saved the sheep.
