Often shepherds use Great Pyrenees to protect their flocks. My neighbors have a pair of Great Pyrenees that they got to protect their goats from coyotes. Late one night by the light of the moon another neighbor noticed one of the Pyrenees in the road as what he thought were other dogs heading towards it. Then he realized they were coyotes approaching the Pyrenees. The coyotes and the Pyrenees greeted each other like they were old friends. They hung out together for a few minutes then the coyotes left. LOL
