Great Pyrenees are super protective ♥️

What’s your dog’s special skill?

A Great Pyrenees who almost lost his life one year ago while protecting sheep from 11 coyotes has been nominated for the People’s Choice Pup in the Farm Dog of the Year competition.

John Wierwille share: Casper, named for the friendly ghost, made headlines in November 2022 when he killed eight coyotes that were threatening his pregnant partner and the sheep on his Georgia farm, his owner.

Wierwille said Casper took out three coyotes that made it inside the pen and then leaped a 4-foot hog wire fence to go after the rest of the pack.

Maybe in ten seconds he had the first three dead methodically. Just one, two, three…”
He leaped the fence in one bound and went after the rest of the pack chasing them through neighbors’ yards and carports. It went on for about 30 minutes.

Casper went missing for two days and returned with infected wounds that Wierwille didn’t think he would survive.
After multiple surgeries, 15 days with an emergency vet and help from Lifeline Animal Project in Atlanta, Casper made it through.

His injuries left him with a bald spot on his back, a scar on one ear and a docked tail but that doesn’t stop him from expressing his happiness.
Casper was back on the job by June 1 getting hamburgers as a reward for chasing away coyotes.

Casper deserves every bit of this! What a wonderful, courageous protector and beautiful too!

Pyrenees are great work dogs. Miss ours , he was awesome!
