After being missing for two days, a sheepdog was discovered watching over a mother sheep and her newborn lamb in a meadow. The owner was proud that the dog had protected them for two days without eating or drinking and gave it meat as a reward

3. I'm no dog expert, to be sure, but that sure does not look like a sheepdog to me.

That's its job, but not its breed.

Good story, nonetheless.

6. I also am no expert

But I believe it's something like an Anatolian Shepherd. Can't identify the language though.

4. Is it possible that he was just hanging out with the sheep

5. Dogs are the best people

7. Sometimes they're even better (and more lovable) than people

8. There are many days I like animals...

…a lot more than a huge swath of humanity.

9. Far more than some people. Maybe most.

Generally, I'll take canids and felines over Homo sapiens any day.

10. Oh how sweet!

Thanks so much for this, FakeNoose. I really needed a smile this morning.

11. Sometimes I think humanity doesn't deserve dogs

We've been together so long and I believe they have actually taught us a lot about how to hold a society together.
