Movie Which Made Me Immediately think of our Mark and Sam

Cept this guy is a chicken farmer, not a sheep herder, but Oddball could be one of Sam's relatives. Although he barks with a Ozzy accent... :B


Oddball

    In light of my posting about Wendy, this bit from the linked website above is quite apropos

    "You can meet the maremmas that are penguin guardians of Middle Island. Where and when will depend upon the time of the year.
    Please remember that our dogs are working dogs and we need to manage the level of exposure they have to people to ensure they maintain their guardian behaviours.
    Never feed our penguin guardian maremmas - This directly effects their behaviour and can lead to their not protect their penguins"



    Thanks for the link, Mark! Interesting stuff, beautiful dogs! Love the penguins too! ... :B

  • Nevur knew about the penguins. Glad I ran into that movie, while searching around in Amazon. So, they rescued some pups in that Italy avalanche?

  • Ah yes the penguin guardian.
    Yes, Oddball is one of Sam's people.
    The pups that were pulled from the avalanche in the Italian Alps were also some of Sam's people.
