Since humans first domesticated sheep thousands of years ago, the relationship between the shepherd and his flock has been sacred. Shepherds are known for not getting much sleep, making sure none of their numbers go astray, and always keeping an eye out for predators. Sheepdogs, too, have for a long time helped.
So one day, a shepherd in Fordongianus, on the Italian island of Sardinia, went out to his flock to make sure all the sheep were healthy and grazing as normal.
