I have a Great Pyrenees and couldn't agree more. Not super surprised about killing the coyotes either; my GP is insanely sweet to familiar humans but has a viciousness towards strange animals like I've never seen in another dog before. And those coyotes were probably a 1/4 of its size.

Yeah I used to know a lady who had some Pyrenees to guard her sheep. They would spend all night running the coyotes off. Then come in for breakfast and sleep all day while her 2yo would drive his toy truck over the dogs. They would never even raise an eyebrow at her kid. To them it is all part of the job.
