Our neighbor Herbie on the lake in NH had a massive Great Pyrenees named Jocko; when the kids were little he would hitch Jocko in a harness and hitch a wagon to the contraption. Jocko would proudly pull the boys up and down the dirt road, with the kids squealing in delight.

The kids were more interested in going to the lake, not for the swimming, boating, fishing, as they were to see Herbie and Jocko. Good memories. Beautiful animal.

I love this story and this lucky dog felt worthy. He had a job.

The guy we use to take our mohair to for weight and shipping to Texas had one of these dogs..beautiful. One shearing season when we went their dog had a large cast of its back leg...someone shot it, but the vet dug the bullet out and the dog was getting along fine with the cast. He had a lot of property and a very large flock of Angoras. His wife is the one that taught me to skin a goat using an air compressor and razor blade. Easy to do...her husband hated skinning a goat if they found one dead in the pasture....so she had to figure out a way to do it herself..
