This is Richard. He's sometimes accused of not being a real dog because of his weird paws and inability to bark. Thinks his pack would say otherwise. 12/10 for all (IG: richardandtheguardians)

I’d like to see someone accuse Richard of not being part of that Guardian pack in front of me. I’ve seen him grow up with the rest of them. Besides, he does Baa Baa Baak. The Guardians accept Richard in their pack. So should everyone else!

I used to have a goat. His name was Baby (and a few other names - he was a naughty goat). His pack was Sparky and Smokey, 140+# wolf hybrids that loved running along Baby's sides and bouncing him between them, ala 'Night at the Roxbury'.

As a lad I had a ewe raised with Great Pyrenees. She modeled her behavior on the dogs. It was hilarious when she would join the the dogs barking at whatever, but unable to bark herself, she silently stood with them looking alert and a wee bit confused.

Sheep have a habit of adopting other packs/herds. We have a local one that thinks it’s a donkey. In France one of them adopted a herd of Friesian cows, despite the larger herd of sheep it started with. Nature works in mysterious ways.

cant bark?!? so he’s a purebred BasenjiSheep and thats no reason to make fun of his stompy 2-toes “This is Richard. He's sometimes accused of not being a real dog because of his weird paws and inability to bark. Thinks his pack would say otherwise”
