An unusual route...


...Dog #40 went left of the short bird "true line" and skimmed the island, went deep and then worked his way to the right into the area of the long bird and rounded it up. 

A few dogs later, #42's handler, Wendell Williams, had to round up his dog after leaving the honor. Some folks in the gallery helped in this effort.
