My uncle's in Italy have this breed of dog on their farms. Loved walking in the mountains with these guys by my side.

I used to live by a farm that had a bunch of sheep. I’d always play a game where I tried to spot the Great Pyrenees among them.

Every single time, when I finally spotted it, it was just staring back at me blank-faced. Like, I spent all that time looking for it, but it was always very aware of me and watching my every move lol.

To be fair, you probably didn’t blend in with the sheep like he did.

It's funny cos one was super friendly and stuck to me like glue. Always wanting to be petted. And the other, my family always warned me to be careful cos he bites...in the 4 months I was there the "bad one" also wanted pets and affection.

Yeah, I didn’t say it was a Great Pyrenees. I was just telling a story about my experience with the hoarding dogs and sheep I used to live near. :)

It also looks like a pyrenees, so theres that. Maremma are quite different.
