Wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, and bears were attacking and killing sheep. Ranchers did not want to kill the wild predators, so they hired guardian dogs to watch over their flocks. Brave Dogs, Gentle Dogs is the story of these guardian dogs. You will love the beautiful photographs as you learn where the dogs came from, how they are trained, and what a huge difference they have made.
