Shortly after this we thought this was isolated enough to let Piper off lead, we'd not seen any one or any animals all the way from Rest Dodd in the distance. Fairly straight away she galloped off down the ridge to the left, completing out of sight. I brought out her whistle and called her back. After around 30seconds she returns, running full pelt back up the hillside, having found a group of deer that she was herding in front of her. Thankfully her recall at that point was good and she came running back to me, obviously awesomely pleased with her work.
