Expensive working dog – level 1

Expensive working dog

21-06-2021 15:00

An auction for special dogs is in Australia. These dogs help people at a farm. For example, these dogs can control big groups of animals.

People pay $35,200 for one dog. It is a record for one dog. One man says that the dog is so expensive because there are not many farm workers.

A video shows how the dog works with farm animals. He controls sheep and cows. He runs very fast.

Difficult words: auction (a place where you sell something to a person who pays more than other people), record (the best number in history), control (to make someone do something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
