Heroic Georgia dog fights off coyote pack preying on flock of sheep

Casper nearly gave up ghost himself but managed to slay eight of the predators

If anyone has earned the title of very good boy, it's Casper, a 20-month-old Great Pyrenees from Decatur, Georgia, who single-handedly killed eight coyotes trying to prey on his owner's sheep.

Last week, a pack of 11 coyotes attacked the flock of farmer John Wierwiller, according to a report from a local television station, WAGA-TV. Casper defended the sheep furiously in a fight that left some of his skin and part of his tail torn off, Wierwiller said.
