Mike,

My wife, in an earlier life, had valuable thoroughbred horses foaling  
out.  There was an Anatolian sheep dog there who watched the place  
quite well.  One day it pinned an electric meter reader to the ground  
who did not heed the dog's warning growls.  According to other  
stories, the dog was a most valued member of the family/farm and  
watched over everything very well.

The latest story is that after she moved away from that farm, with the  
dog, it ran away from the new house and made its way back to the old  
one three times (some 5 miles).  The last time, she asked the new  
owners of the farm to keep the dog there because he was bonded to the  
property, not the family members.
