Shebang - one great trick dog

The world has lost one great trick dog. You may remember Shebang from her appearances on Pet Star a few years back. Here is one of her most famous tricks.

Here are a few of my other favorites:

Wonder if her trainer ever taught her to pack a lunchbag??? More kudos to incredibly intelligent Border Collies...they RULE!

Just have to say how incredibly special Shebang is and was. It's so hard to believe she is gone. She could not have been loved or given love any more than she did. I had the pleasure of knowing and sharing life with Tammy and Shebang. I feel like one of my own dogs have passed. Life seems so unfair at times but not many people experience what Tammy and Shebang had. She was a great agility dog but short lived. A great trick dog, a great best friend, a kind and passionate soul, a very polite dog.

Shebang will always be in my thoughts and forever loved!!!!!

Love always, Grandma Gloria

Dear Gloria,
I read about the unfortunate passing of Shebang. On Friday morning I punched into the computer( agility dog dies in tragic death) the reason I put that in to the computer was because I have been suffering the loss of my dog. I was wondering if anyone else in the world was in the same grief as me. I lost my partner and bestfriend, Oct 13 07. She was a Mach dog, my dog dance partner and the light of our lifes. She was tragically killed on Sat oct 13. My husband accidently rode over her because he had not seen her lie down in front of passenger side of his truck tire. I was in the back yard and heard a yip and knew something bad happened. I ran and our dog died in my husbands and my arms. The grief has been unbearable. She was a special dog too. The owner of Shebang and I share the same deep grief. Gloria, would you give a message to Tammy and let her know she is not alone in her pain I will pray for her .THanks Jane Dietrich (dtrik@bytehead.com
