Does he herd the cats? Reminds me of a remark Mitch McConnell made about getting a,majority of Senators, like “getting frogs into a wheelbarrow.”
Well, his protective instincts from his Pyrenees ethnicity are strong. He looks for things to protect, but he does not herd them. He just lays 20 feet away and waits for attackers.
I have a 14 month old toddler. He instinctively seeks to protect her. Not from humans, but wolves and bears and the like.
I live in Houston, so the biggest threat is an illegal alien hopping the fence to steal my tools.
He allows my kids to stomp on his paws and tail, and his attitude is “sorry, my tail was in your way”.
He instinctively does not bite (I try!), but has a very loud and authoritative bark. I obtained him specifically to prevent house burglary during the day while we are at work.
