Stacked up against 11 coyotes, herd dog kills 8 to save sheep in Georgia

[allegorical oracle]

59. There's 180 acres behind my home and coyotes were always around. The farmer who owned the

acreage had turned a herd of his black angus out there -- could watch them from my kitchen window. One day the herd suddenly began stampeding from north to south, and my standard poodle had just ducked under the fence and rushed into the pasture. I ran out to the fence line to call him back. Watched as he veered past the herd and began chasing three coyotes that were causing the stampede. He chased them west for about a mile. Know it was that far because that's where he was when I picked him up in our truck.

Found it ironic because it occurred when John Kerry was running for Prez and people were calling him a "poodle." My 80-pound standard demonstrated that day it's a bad idea to stereotype people -- or animals.
