Donald McCaig has written more books than he cares to remember and a couple good ones. You can read him in a dozen foreign languages, if you have time on your hands. He's been published in the New York Times, Smithsonian, Washington Post, Harper's, Atlantic, and Sports Illustrated and once won a literary prize but it was a French literary prize. He writes about rural living for NPR's All Things Considered which broadcasts his comments on slow days when the politicians aren't up to much.

He and his dogs have won sheepdog trials but he doesn't scare people much.

For twenty-five years, McCaig has raised sheep on a farm in Highland County where his Border Collies do as much of the work as mere dogs can and his wife Anne does the rest.
