Great story, thanks for sharing. My wife grew up with a Polish Mountain Sheep Dog. When we decided to get a dog for our family, we wanted a similar breed (livestock guarding dogs tend to be low energy, good with small children, and fearlessly protective; perfect for us, in other words). In the Pacific Northwest, Great Pyrenees are much easier to locate than Polish Mountain Sheep dogs, so that’s what we got. Anyway, around that time I did a deep Wikipedia dive on dog breeds. I found it fascinating that basically every mountainous region of Europe has its own breed of large, white livestock guarding dogs.
