I think the additional details make it much more awesome:

Around 2:30 AM, Farmer John Weirwell was startled by a ruckus on his land. Venturing outside, he saw his sheep cornered by 11 coyotes, with his guard dogs, Casper and Daisy, bravely standing in the coyotes’ path. Casper, seemingly to divert attention from the pregnant Daisy, lunged at the coyotes. In a fierce 30-minute confrontation, he managed to take down several of them. Realizing they were outmatched, the remaining coyotes fled into the forest, but Casper, a tenacious 85-pound Great Pyrenees, wasn’t done. He hurdled a four-foot fence, chased, and dispatched a few more. In total, he took out eight coyotes that night. However, Casper then vanished for two days. Initially feared dead, when local residents began discovering dead coyotes, they surmised Casper was hunting the ones that had escaped him initially. He eventually came back, battered and missing parts of his tail and ear. Thanks to John’s quick action and the community’s support via the Lifeline Animal Project, which helped raise $15k, Casper underwent surgeries and made a full recovery. He now enjoys a cozy indoor life on the farm.

Great Pyrenee

That’s why. They were bred to protect sheeps from bears and packs of wolves. These dogs don’t fuck around

Pyrs do not fuck around once the threat is proven. They will be as gentle as can be around their wards, but once you’re a threat, they’re going to die knowing you’re coming with them.

Pair up your Pyrs with a donkey, anything that crosses that fence is fucked.

That’s one impressive dog. He more than earned his retirement.

So the farmer stood and watched for 30min, and didn’t call his dog back when he started chasing?

The story don’t say anything about how far his dog was from him. Also, dogs don’t always listen when they have set their mind to something
