    8 people or coyotes? I’m leaning toward people. I will not read the article

    A friendly one of these dogs wanted pets from me when I was walking on a farm once. It excitedly asked me by putting its paws on my shoulders and licking my face. Best dogs, legitimately terrifying.

    I’m going to be Captain Obvious but it is literally the job of a herding dog to fend off threats to their charges.

    Or is the surprise about the number he caught and killed?

    Most of us never really know what our dogs are really capable of. The big bruiser snoring away on the floor might be a scary cat (pun intended) while the little fuzz ball that gets picked and carried around might be a vicious guardian waiting for a chance.

    Never underestimate a dog.

    Great Pyrenees are the most insane dog breed. Will sleep 20 hours a day, let small children and friendly animals literally maul them without even a growl - and then when their danger sense goes off and shit goes down transform into a freaking dire wolf on meth whose owed money

    I love my pyr. Besides the massive massive amount of shedding best dogs ever

      When my son was a toddler, we lived near an alpaca farm. They had two Great Pyrenees to keep the mountain lions away. One of them took to my son and dug a tunnel under the fence to come visit him once a day like clockwork. The owner found the tunnel and fixed it, the dog dug another one.

      Finally he just told us to come over and allowed us to basically visit the farm whenever so that the dog wouldn’t keep digging.

      He was so gentle with my son. I never felt unsafe with that dog around.

        They are amazing - literal definition of gentle giants. Gentle giants that will also fight off wolves with literal spidey-sense

    yea, not surprised. don’t mess around with a Pyrenees or Sheepdogs. They look super cute and family like, and will defend to the death. It’s literally their job. Good Dog.

      Except in this version of the film the villains kill John Wick and his dog goes to get revenge.
