Luke is an intelligent border collie who excels at communicating with his handler, Sister Mary Foley, a School Sister of Notre Dame. Sister Mary lived and worked with Luke for more than thirteen years. His gentle spirit led them to become members of Therapy Dogs International. When not accompanying Luke on his adventures, Sister Mary is a licensed clinical social worker ministering at the Academy of the Holy Angels in Demarest, New Jersey. Sister Mary is a member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame, Atlantic Midwest Province. Maverick McCarthy, the illustrator, is from Mahwah, NJ.

Luke arrived in Demarest, NJ in 2004. His job was to get the geese off the property of the Academy of the Holy Angels. In the first book in this series, Luke the Border Collie: My Early Years, readers learned about his arrival from North Carolina, his first visit to the veterinarian, and how he settled in to work as a goose herder. In this book, Luke describes what life as a goose herder at a school is like, from arriving ready to keep geese off the property to passing time by digging a hole and taking a nap when geese aren't around. Sometimes, Luke hears the geese before he sees them as they can fly high in the sky and honk loudly. After doing a good job, Luke loves it when Sister Mary pats his head and says, "Good boy." Luke is so good at what he does, he can even scare away geese when they are on the roof of the school. All he has to do is charge the building, and they fly away. Join Luke on another exciting adventure with this beautifully illustrated book highlighting his working years.
