  • From 1974. "Cow Dog Song" is a filmed Sesame Street song segment, in which a cow dog sings about his job, and how he's a "hard workin' dog." The film was produced, directed, scored, and sung by Fred Wardenburg. Some people referred to this song as "Hard Working Dog", but in reality, it's actually called the "Cow Dog Song"

    This video discriminates against the hard working Australian Cattle dog working side-by-side with the Border Collie. 😁Often paired together to take advantage of the two breed's different herding styles, the Cattle dog can be seen in a few frames. This is sarcasm and I love this song. ☺

    On the ranch in idaho where we were raised we had Australian Shepard cow dogs like this.
    Whats funny is I thought they shot it on our ranch.
    We even had that same truck!
    During a conversation this evening with a friend I remembered how the dogs on the ranch worked so hard but they were happy to live the life they were born to do.
    And 40ish years later I remembered this clip and now I’m so happy and nostalgic to find it here!
    Brought tears to my eyes.
    Thankful to be a kid in the 70’s and know a life close to nature and reality before computers took over everything.
    I miss the ranch and Grandpa so much, and guess I always will.
    So glad and thankful my cousin is still running things up there in the Rockies and her son will be the 6th generation cowboy keeping this kind of life alive.

      I love ur story. I feel the same way. I miss growing up with all my cousins, Aunts, Uncles around every weekend. My Aunt Lorraine’s farm who had her animals but also took in every critter that was going to be put down or was abused/ abandoned. “Bless their hearts “ she would say. BBQ, pig roasts, kids running around playing, adults laughing and drinking beer, playing jokes on each other. We were outside after homework and chores every day until dinner. We had nothing like kids do now, but our imaginations would have us finding fun every day. I told my kids that we could go out with a stick and a rock and find something fun to do. Our bikes were a big thing. Keep it clean, oiled the chain, put cards in the spokes and went crazy jumping dirt mounds, racing etc. I think our time as kids was so much better. Problems dealt with fist fights then wind up being friends. Parents gave a damn about their kids behavior and got involved when there was trouble. Making kids apologize and accountable, just knowing it’s gonna be worse when they get home. Yeah it’s ashame things today. Now most of my family is gone or moved away but I wouldn’t trade my upbringing for anything. It was a good life. Sorry to go on but ur story brought me back. Thx for sharing

      @elmsavannah8642 Год назад

      I do not think this is a border collie. They are “hard eyed” herders, and this dog is loose all the way. This is either an Australian Shepherd with her tail, or the lesser-known English Shepherd - or Farm Collie. There’s a Blue Heeler trying to take on that particularly unruly Charolais, and the Hard Working Dog is cleaning up that mess on 1-2 cuts. That has absolutely been my experience working cows with Heelers. They get the stock - and me - in trouble!
