Good boy
Casper scampered off after the fight, but he returned injured two days later.
Casper was taken to an emergency vet, where doctors discovered that he had a severe neck wound that required surgery.
His owner said that Casper was doing his job and that he was not a normal dog. He also said that he would let him retire from herding if he wanted to, but he thought that Casper would want to get back to his purpose
You hope it never comes to it, but this is what you have them for. Get him a donkey buddy when he’s ready to go back. That way he doesn’t have to be alone.
There is a video yes the dog did great but as a dog owner i would not have stayed still but helped out. I had bears/cougars in my yard i got out there and helped my dog scare them away
​
In the video the owner was there and watched what went down like for real?

Curious how a llama would have faired
“Time to take out the trash!”
-Casper
A real working dog, partners since the Paleolithic!
sheep dog is his job,
his breed is great pyrenees,
renowned for bravery and gentle nature
sheepdogs are intelligent, energetic, fast, and loyal. apparently they are badass too.
I can only fantasize about being that badass. What a good boy, I hope he has happy dreams every time he goes to sleep.
Casper dogg had to regulate.
In Georgia’s meadows, where the sheep did graze,
Stood a hero, Casper, strong and brave.
Akin to Cú Chulainn, of legends of yore,
Casper defended the weak, his heart ever pure.
A pack of coyotes, fierce and wild,
Sought to ravage the lambs, so tender and mild.
But Casper, a Pyrenees, white as snow,
Wouldn’t let harm befall those he did know.
With might and fury, the battle did rage,
Echoing tales from a warrior’s age.
For over half an hour, the skirmish did last,
But in the end, the coyotes were surpassed.
Eight foes lay defeated, but Casper was marred,
His skin torn, his tail scarred.
He vanished from sight, pain in his eyes,
The land lamented, filled with sad sighs.
Yet hope rekindled, as days turned to two,
Casper returned, to the home he once knew.
Wierwiller awaited, heart heavy with dread,
But relief overwhelmed as he stroked the hero’s head.
“He’s looking, he’s saying, ‘Just tend to my pain,’
Forget my scars, let love be our gain.”
Grateful hands worked, to heal and to bind,
Casper’s wounds, both outside and inside.
The community rallied, their love ever clear,
Raising gold and silver, wiping away tears.
For in the heart of Georgia, a legend was born,
Of a sheepdog named Casper, the coyotes’ scorn.
Heroes come in forms, both big and small,
Yet it’s the heart that matters, above all.
So here’s to Casper, valiant and true,
A guardian, a warrior, through and through.
I grew up in a small farm town. Everyone I knew as a child had lost at least one dog to coyotes. This excites the shit out of me.
Where were his “colleagues”?
Coyotes just wanted to survive.
Goodest boy.
That dog’s a real unit. The vet should have upgraded him with laser beams.
Not friendly, and not a ghost
Casper the Deadly Ghost
Old boy probably limped off to kill the other 2 coyotes before returning home
Those three went home like “that didn’t go well”
i have read some sheep dogs wear a spiked collar. so if coyotes or wolves are trying to kill them, they can’t, because of the collars protection around their neck.

when those 3 coyotes left casper told them to come back with a gun next time
This is the Sisu of doggos.
“I didn’t hear no bell!”
“Those coyotes called my mom a bitch.”
“Well… I mean…”
“Finish that sentence and someone’s getting spayed or neutered today.”
Inaccurate headline..
A “sheepdog” is a dog used to herd and move sheep, like Border Collies.
This dog is a LGD..Livestock Guardian dog, used to protect and defend .
And that’s why Europeans traditionally have these big livestock guardian dogs.
It’s a Pyrenees. His JOB was a sheep dog. I’ve had a Pyr and I can confirm they’re the most gentle, sweetest, family golden retriever dog until something tries to invade their flock. Even if not trained and only raised in an urban home as mine was. That pitbull did not stand a chance, in our case. I honestly think they’re one of the best breeds.
It’s important to note he’s a Great Pyrenees. A live stock guardian dog from the French mountains. They are bread to live with the flock and blend in, wolves are the threat they protect against the most.
Saying a “sheepdog” while is accurate might make people think of a Shepard or something. Pyr’s can get upto 180lbs and have a large amount of loose skin and lots of hair around their neck to protect them from bites.
Casper is a unit and an amazing dog for fighting off all those coyotes. It’s still a huge accomplishment even for a Pyr to fight off that many.
Huh, Sam really could fuck up Ralph.
Good boy.
I feel like that would be a wild fight to have seen him 1v11
The only good coyote is a dead one.
It’s like the reciprocal of John Wick.
Cayote: Is the future of our pack not worth a single sheep’s life?
Casper: You’ll never stop at one. I’ll take you all on!
Change that dog’s name to John Wick.
I AIN’T HEARD NO BELL!!
Get him a spiked/pronged collar and he’ll out right win next time. The neck bites probably dealt a lot of XP.
Damn dude. Just had a coyote come by my house today. He looked to be about 50 pounds. How does a sheep dog take out so many… in a pack no less?
He’s Great pyranese, they’re often called “livestock guardian dogs” . They actually use pyranese, Anatolian shepherds, akbash and other live stock guardians in Chile to protect sheep from Pumas.
I accidently adopted a great pyranese Rottweiler mix puppy during the pandemic I learned a bit about the breeds.
The great pyranese breed is around 5 thousand years old. They are bred to work autonomously and protect the sheep with no instructions from humans. This tends to make them pretty stubborn and difficult to train. And sometimes alloof They are loyal and great with most people and animals except for predators. Where we live there are coyotes about and if he’s out when they are around he’ll bark and howl to get them to leave.
*I’m not trapped in here with you, YOU’RE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ME!*
Who’s a good boy?
Casper’s a good boy.
Yes he is!
That’ll do dog, that’ll do.
Great pyrenees are an amazing breed.
Went beast mode
Great Pyrs are absolute sweetheart fluff balls but will lay waste to anyone who threatens them or their families.
