"This is Casper. He’s a Great Pyrenees whose job is to guard the sheep on his family's farm, and he takes that job very seriously. In the early morning of Nov. 4, 2022, a pack of 11 coyotes surrounded the farm's flock of sheep while Casper was on watch…
Casper bravely protected his herd, killing 8 of the coyotes and chasing the others away. Not a single sheep was harmed. Unfortunately, Casper was seriously injured in the process, and disappeared after the attack, only to reemerge severely wounded two days later.
Casper required multiple surgeries and was at the emergency vet for over two weeks. When he got home, he took plenty of time off, continuing to recover inside. We assume he’s already been named employee of the month, but we’re also giving Casper our highest honor, a 15/10."
COMMENTS: I heard a recent sermon about pastors as sheepdogs. Jesus is the shepherd, but we are under the shepherd. When I read this Twitter thread on @WeRateDogs, I was amazed at the courage of this dog.
