? Was this industrious little guy really in with all those big pachyderms? He'll certainly wear himself out trying to herd them, he'd do better trying to herd cats! Nice shot....

Yeah there were like 10 elephants in the pond and he was seriously herding them around...the trainer uses the dog to keep them where they are suppose to be, it is quite a sight...and it was a very smart dog.
