    Been around dogs all my life. It's amazing what they know and can do if only taught and observed. Breeds and genders make a lot of difference but they all have their unique personalities if we would only take the time to get to know them.

    The worse thing about a dog is their short lifespan. We see the whole cycle of life pass before our eyes in the time frame of only 12-16 years. + or -

    With modern advances in flea control we can keep them indoors with us too. Most of them prefer our company.

      I drive a twisting mountain road every morning on my way to the gym. I see a flock of sheep on the shoulder of the road nearly every day. The first time I saw them, I said to myself, "There's an accident waiting to happen!"

      But then I saw lying behind them, his front paws crossed, was a Great Pyrenees. He was on the job, and none of them would put a foot on the pavement.

        There's a large farm about 1/2 mile from me. They raise cattle using several fenced off pastures. After the cows eat, pee and crap enough on the grass in the field they are transferred to a different field with fresh clean grass. For protection (coyotes) the farmer keeps a single donkey with the cows. Lately you can drive by and see the donkey in a field all by himself. I asked the farmer why that was. When transferring, the donkey is too stubborn to walk with the cows and gets left behind.

        Not exactly a dog but same concept.

          Donkeys will definitely deal with coyotes. I have had them for years and they don't take any crap from any dog.
