Dogs come in a wide variety of breeds, each with their own unique talents and skills. Some are great at guarding property, while others excel at herding cattle or assisting law enforcement. Even family pets can be trained to help out around the house, like fetching the newspaper. On farms, dogs often serve as protectors for other animals and keep them safe from harm.
This particular Lab has been taught to watch over his buffalo buddy and guide him home once their work in the fields is done.
As the buffalo pulled a cart along the road, it kept getting sidetracked by patches of grass to graze on. This led to frequent stops and delays in reaching their destination. However, the buffalo’s furry companion was not pleased with this behavior and started barking at him. In an effort to get the buffalo back on track and home before nightfall, the furry friend even tugged on the rope used to guide the cart.
At last, the buffalo threw in the towel in its attempt to munch on the delectable greens and opted to trail the pup, who led the way back to the farm. The hirsute pooch appeared pleased and victorious when the mammoth creature finally submitted to his bidding.
The owner of the dog stated that he did not intentionally train his Labrador to guide his livestock back home. It is plausible that this astute canine has been taking note of his owner’s behavior and picked up the skill from there. Onlookers found this incident amusing since they had never witnessed a dog haul a buffalo by its rope before.
