It Only Takes a Minute for this Rotty to Decide Whether the Sheep is Friend or Foe (VIDEO)

We’ve all experienced the dreaded annoyance of a fly buzzing around our heads. Shooing the pesky critter doesn’t work, neither does pleading for it to leave you alone. But what if the thing pestering you was much bigger? Oh, let’s say, like a large dog barking in your face while you are trying to have a snack. Do you ignore him?

The fluffy sheep in this video is merely grazing, but doing so very gingerly as a Rottweiler dances and barks around her. At one point, the sheep stops eating to look up at the camera with a look that says, “Is this dog serious? I’m just trying to eat here!”

After licking, snooting, nudging, and careful observation, the Rotty decides the sheep is pretty cool. Watch as the dog attempts to get the sheep to play with him, and to show his new friend he really does care, a free lick-lick bath is offered! This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a Rottweiler playing with and grooming a farm animal. Check out a Rotty befriending a group of moo-cows!

Rottweilers are a dog breed commonly misunderstood and stereotyped as dangerous, vicious, when they are actually sweet and loving. A dog is not born dangerous, but any dog can be made to be by the wrong guardian.
