Shepherds turn to dogs to defend sheep from wolves on the Veluwe [Netherlands]
From DutchNews.nl:
Shepherds in the Veluwe region have come up with a novel solution to deter wolf attacks by hiring Italian mountain dogs to guard their sheep.
Stichting Schapedrift Ermelo, a volunteer organisation that tends a herd of sheep on the heathlands in Gelderland, acquired two Maremmano-Abruzzese sheepdogs this summer to protect the herd from prowling wolves.
