One of my pet peeves: he's not a herding type of dog, but a livestock guardian. Very important difference in instinct, behaviour and purpose. He does not herd, he guards!

Look at the dog's eyes, he ain't retiring... He just getting started.

Cropped the image to remove the redundancy at the bottom and also a little bit of the weird framing at the top.

Casper, lighting a cigarette: "a well earned retirement. I'm getting too old for this job"

The shepherd: "the coyotes, they've taken Woolly the lamb"

Casper: 🐶😡🔫

Bro really needs to stop huffing Rhydo, it's NOT doing good things to his body.

Actually I think he was intentionally straying to have any remaining coyotes track him away from the herd. He waited it out before returning.
