02 / MEET CASPER

BEFORE HE BECAME A HERO,
HE WAS JUST A FARM DOG.

Casper was a Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dog living with his owner, John Wierwille, in Georgia, USA.

His job was simple. Stay with the sheep. Watch the flock. Keep predators away.

Casper was known as a friendly, gentle and somewhat goofy dog. But when danger came close to the flock, something changed. His instinct was to protect.

ONE NIGHT
CHANGED EVERYTHING.

THE GUARDIAN
SURVIVED.

GUARDING.
