Taking a quick break from her hard work of chasing away bears.

Handsome dog. My favorite breed. Mine seem to specialize in chasing odd predator Jack rabbits and the odd sparrow. Great background to the shot too. I'm guessing that's not the Pyrenees..

The mountains aren't the Pyrenees, they're the Rockies. The dog isn't a Pyrenees either, she's a Maremma, a very similar breed. As a livestock guardian dog, she spends a lot of time barking and chasing after coyotes and bears. Once we introduce her to someone however, she's very affectionate, and seems more like a yard dog than a working one

Thanks, Storm doesn't really go after anything we throw (unless it's food...), she just looks at us confused...

Oh dear... that wouldn't be good with our dog at that size.. a terrier is more manageable...

You think so... trust me it still brings a wee tear to the corner of the eye.
