Meg is small but has dazzling speed; Jack has size and enthusiasm. Between the two of them they make a great team who love their job of herding sheep.

One day, everything changes when Fraser, the grumpy, bad-tempered Ram, kicks the barn door, hitting poor Meg and forcing the farmer to send her far away to a totally different life by the sea.

Jack is left behind and soon finds himself looking after cows instead of sheep and most importantly, cows with long sharp horns! Jack can't wait to leave the farm and the cows behind and join Meg in her new home by the sea...

Jack might be a big dog who was very confident working with sheep on the farm but the beach is a very different place, full of strange brightly coloured objects he has never experienced before! Life by the sea holds many new, exciting and amusing discoveries that lead the enthusiastic duo into some tricky situations...

About the Author
Working in Agriculture, Philippa Robinson-Gill met many border collies and saw first-hand how intelligent, loyal, energetic, and fun they could be, eventually getting Brock, her very first dog. Now retired and living in Northumberland, daily coastal walks with her husband and ex working dogs Meg and Jack provide endless source of inspiration for her books. Collaborating with her brother, Adam Gill, whose illustrations breathe life into every page, she penned From Sheep to Shore. Its success and the joy of engaging with the young readers birthed the sequel Salty Sheepdog Set Sail.
