Ansel, you are quite right. There is a third category beside wolf and sheep.
Sheepdog. Best described here. Be proud.

Sheep dogs talk wolves into leaving, right.
In some situations you are either a Hunter or a prey. With minimal police in a rural environment I’d suspect the numerous burglaries were a warning that maybe the “sheepdogs” were at the donut shop stuffing they’re faces.
I don’t need a sheep dog. I don’t mind having police, but in a crime you’re on your own for the first few minutes to an hour. You better be able to defend yourself. If you think a sheepdog will be there, well good luck with that.
That is my home page.
I am a lifelong sheepdog.
