What is a Sheepdog? A Sheepdog is a state of being, a state of mind. It is an unspoken understanding that we are the protector of the flock, a guardian to those not capable of guarding themselves. The old, the weak, the infirmed, the average, we oversee them all. We know that the sheeple we care for are often unappreciative. They view us with a general disdain. We bear an uncomfortable resemblance to those that mean harm to them. We have the same propensity for violence and the same predatory instinct. The difference is what we choose to do with our individual assets.
