Meghan in Hawaii shares this photo and story of her Pyrenean Mastiff, Moon, who watches over their farm to protect crops from deer. See their story here:
"We raise Kunekune pigs, Nigerian dwarf goats and some interesting breeds of chicken - the original reasons we imported the Pyrenean Mastiffs. Our primary crops are grass and forage for our pigs - obviously the deer love it too."

About the family of Livestock Guardian Dogs...
“To this day flocks are guarded in the hills of Asia, Europe and Africa* by powerful, robust dogs that are neither clumsy nor pacific. Despite the distances that separate them these breeds have much in common, and the Kuvasz is a member of this extended sheepdog family.”
Dr. Buzády Tibor. 2002. Dogs of Hungary. Translated by Bernard Adams. Budapest, Hungary: Nóra Kiadó. P. 100.
