“Sometimes, you just have to put your paw down.”

Every time we look back through Miste’s story, we are reminded of how deeply dogs shape our lives. Her journey from Scotland to Missouri is filled with small lessons, loyal moments, and the quiet wisdom only a good dog can teach. If you enjoy stories that celebrate the bond between people and their dogs, you will find much to love in Sheep to Showbiz.

Roger & Out was one of Ann and Roger Gafke's German Shepherds. Placed with a policewoman named Barbara, he became her undercover drug-detection partner. Together, they made numerous arrests and became so successful that the underworld put a contract out on him.

One day, a drug dealer recognized Roger & Out in a shopping mall and opened fire. Roger & Out leapt into action, disarmed the gunman, and held him until backup arrived. When Barbara ran to him, she discovered he had been shot. He had given his life protecting his partner.

Roger & Out is one of the remarkable dogs you'll meet in Sheep to Showbiz, where Miste shares the stories of the dogs who came before her and the extraordinary lives they lived.
