By Southern's request, I will relay stories about Jack. Jack is a Great Pyr who is around three years old.
We got Jack from a farm in central Ohio. He was living with his momma and two goats and was about 6 months old. His momma was a good guardian who was also good with people. Jack was the last of her litter.
Jack from the start LOVED the goats. He snuggled with them, the babies climbed all over him. He would love on them, give them kisses and keep them safe.
About a month after we got him, I came home to find a brand new baby out in the barn yard with Jack. Jack was following it around, keeping the baby under him. The baby kept bumping Jack's belly like he was trying to nurse. The baby was warm, dry and walking around SCREAMING his head off. His momma was in the kidding stall with his twin sister who was still damp.
As far as I can tell, the baby rolled out under the 2" gap under the door of the stall. He then somehow got the 3 feet from the door to the goat panel I had surrounding the Maternity ward. Then he got through the goat panel. I have no idea what role Jack played in all of this but he took that baby, got it clean and dry and stood guard over it until I was able to get him back with his momma.

He's a good looking dog and, as usual, when I see some GPs they have my old Lucy's face and it brings her back to mind...she was a great dog and had that sweet, waiting and watching for you kind of face. Not a mean bone in her body...pure humble devotion. I find that in many GPs..that all encompassing need to make you happy.
