    I have only just found John Pilley, only to loose him almost on the same day. But I have not truely lost him, because he has created in me a thirst I did not know existed and will try to quench by spending as much time with my one year old Border Collie, Sheeba. She has been a major source of joy and I can only thank Pilley for showing me how I might help her to be the best, loving, joyful dog she can become. I will try to emulate Pilley - not only as a dog trainer but as a person. Thank you everybody for sharing so much love. Pilley lives on through you. God bless.
