But every few nights something - or someone - picks off one of the sheep and sounds a new deep pulse of terror. Her disobedient collie, Dog, and a flock of sheep are her sole companions, which is how she wants it to be. ![]() Jake Whyte is living on her own in an old farmhouse on a craggy British island, a place of ceaseless rain and battering wind.
