Sheepdog Hero

The Way of the Warrior

The sheepdog metaphor is central to the mind set of anyone who has been in the military. (There is a military algorithm) It is the Warrior’s Code of Honor. To protect the good from evil.

The English Sheepdog is a stocky muscular dog. Unlike most dogs this one bonds with the sheep. It even looks like a sheep. It hides among the flock. It will viciously defend it’s brothers and sisters. More than a match for a wolf. It even waits in line with the sheep to get sheared. But when he comes back to to lick his wounds, he frightens the sheep. Like the wolf he has teeth and knows how to use them. Yet he is the one the sheep huddle behind when the wolf threatens.
