@@Nykandros And yours is a pretentious comment meant to make you feel like you just cooked something.
What really strikes me is the fact that the shepherd dog really does feel for them, but still knows he has a job to do.
Everyone's gotta eat. Why discriminate just because something is less cute?
Because he feels for the sheep to
@@cosmicreef5858only because he doesn‘t has to Hunt for him self
Its less of that he acknowledges the world order and circle of life he knows a wolf and its pact needs food but he also knows the sheep is not there food his life in the circle is to defend the ship just as theres is to hunt em he will respect it but also obey it like any other
Yes
“Either leave or do what you’ve gotta do”
That has to be the hardest way of saying. “I’m ready to die, are you?”
This is like Exposing Boing
Do the job or Exposing them

@@cnar06angara because its the same artist.
Thanks for the heads up!
I'll check it out later.
I knew it.
Tbf, while Pixie and Brutus kinda light stories, there's heavy story/ deep theme every now and then
I like what he says to the little lamb at the end, "No monsters. Just some poor critters."
It's not only reassuring to the lamb not to be scared, but also that's how he actually feels about the encounter. He truly doesn't see them as monsters, just animals desperate for a meal, but unfortunately, there was no meal for them there
I thought of it just to calm down the sheep but never from the dogs perspective…
@noahadam3022 yea realistically the dog would've been barking but still he was just holding ground
The problem is that men take up too much land. Their sheep take too much grass. That diminishes habitat for the things wolves and coyotes need to eat. Thats one of the reasons I am so against illegal immigration. Our population is growing too fast. Its unfair to wild animals.
It's such an interesting turn of events. Thousands of years ago, that sheep dog was a wolf but over time, we've taken that wolf and made a dog that now protects sheep from its former life that wants to eat the sheep.
@@dawnalarson5646To be fair, while all the same species, the ancestors of modern dogs and wolves were much smarter and more social wolves than the ones we see in the wild today. They weren't as independent as cats, but they formed interspecies trade with humans who would proceed to breed them for obedience.
1:40 he just used the Heavy logic: "I've yet to meet one who can outsmart bullet."
Hmm Heavy.
In this case, he has yet to meet one who can outrun bullet.
Jack really said sure you got your advantages but I have just as many so turn around and go home
Well the heavy is not wrong.
@@jasonx1174I know a guy, his name is Jeremy.
“Do not confuse my sympathy with submission.”
Another one I like is that empathy and sympathy are two different things and those sympathy is not required, for one to give up their empathy in any situation is tantamount to teaching oneself how does take away another person's rights as a living being and thus make it all too easy to do that to those close to you should the time ever arise that you decide they have lost them... All too easily we demonize and other and hate each other so thoroughly that we wish the most cruel and vicious of deaths upon other people All because we forgot how to have empathy and taught ourselves how to hate so brutally and horribly....
Colder than the many lines 🥶 love it
“Wake up my master an’ he grab his rifle. And ain’t none a you faster than that” was cold
Even though the wolf won’t admit it, he and his pack had lost several of their own to angry farmers who shot them down with no mercy when they tried to hunt sheep. To the leader knew the consequences if they did it again and he couldn’t afford to lose another pack member.
@@eduardosolis6383 Wolves are like that. While they are opportunistic hunters who will eat another wolf if necessary (cannibalism isn't a sin in the animal kingdom), they aren't known to eat their own family members because of the social bonds they have with one another. Big Jack uses that against them to encourage them to move on elsewhere.
i havent meet one guy that can outsmart a bullet.
-Heavy weapons guy
@@eduardosolis6383 I think it was coyotes
Fr tho-
That got me cracking
My favorite part is how unironically sympathetic he is for the wolves. He understands their grievances and how hungry they are, but also knows he has a job to protect those sheep and is willing to let them leave with their lives before he has to do said job.
Extremely solid character writing on pet foolery’s behalf!
Dogs are domesticated wolves. This shepherd knows EXACTLY how the wolves feel.
He also is obligated by nature to follow master's orders.
This is definitely top notch
And he likely knew some of the pack either too young or in verge of collapsing. Still, rule of the wild
Can't even call it foolery at this point this is pure wholesome (I know it's the name of the creator)
You could say he has a particular set of skills..
actually dont wanna sound like a nerd but those are most likely coyotes, wolfs are to powerful for most dogs, and they are afraid of humans and avoid them, so more likely coyotes which are weaker and stupider but possible faster cause of them being smaller
The wolves: "We are the worst thing in these woods."
Big Jack: "Step onto the farm. You dont even make the top three."
Arnold the Grizzly Bear, who’s busy dining from whatever garbage Master had thrown away earlier: ”Forgive me gentlemen, but could you _repeat_ that?”
"We are the worst thing in these woods."
"One more step and ya ain't in them woods no more and ya ain't the worst thing on this farm."
This gives me the following vibe
“You see I’m an old man, and I don’t hear so well, so I’m gonna need you to say that again… only this time (cocks gun) say it with your chest.”
1. Farmer with his rifle
2. Farmers wife who also can use a rifle.
3. The dog
The wolves: "We are the worst thing in these woods."
Big Jack: "Maybe so. But you're not in your woods now, are you."
I love the portrayal of the shepherd being ready to throw away his life to protect the sheep, and yet feeling sorry for the wolves who are hungry, and the portrayal of the wolves as hungry animals and not savage beasts despite the way they replied to the shepherd like beasts or monsters, truly a piece of work that earned my like.
was it wolves though?
@@MyWorldOf11 We get a glimpse at 2:05, and it's either a wolf or a bear, and I don't think 10 hungry bears - or even a single one - would had backed down.
@@MyWorldOf11 most likely, sheep often get attacked by wolves, and dogs can fight them to protect the sheep, and it's a forest and wolves can live there.
@@clovernacknime6984 Could potentially be coyotes as well. They normally hunt alone or in pairs, but if they're desperate enough to go after large prey, they gather into a larger group. That's how they managed to take out a weakened cow that had just given birth that belonged to one of my professors. She took two of them down with her and likely injured more. They completely skeltonized her calf and the mother was partially eaten when my professor found them the next day, so it must have been a pretty large group.
Edit: For those who don't know, cows prefer to give birth in privacy, and she had wandered too far away from the herd for any of them to hear the struggle and help her
This story does relate pretty well to an event where a shepherd dog fought off a pack of 11 coyotes. Which does fit with
"10..." "Maybe"
That and they also believe they're faster than him. Not betting they'd be stronger so I'd say Bears are definitely out and arguably so are wolves.
"... fine. The rabbits, they your master's too? Or they fair game?"
"No. Good hunting."
"Though with how my masters is, you'd better be dead silent.
Nahhh bro it was the 15
Sniff sniff
Hmmmm less
That line got my heartbeat racing
@@grantpowell4135 The reason it terrifies you is because he has the same amount of mercy for the wolves as a father warning his children that you shouldn't anger him. The sniffing part was just because he knows they're lying
@jannjohannmarcial6915 i took the sniff as sign of superiority in the dog like you can't fool him
@@grantpowell4135 that too, nice observation
And if the master loses that dog, what makes you think he won't hunt down every last one of them. Man is dangerously emotional.
Man is dangerous. Period. We are THE apex predator.
Loads of animals are, despite us detaching them from such
Like tigers, despite being mostly solitary are known for getting revenge, especially when it involves a partner.
Nah, he'll be too busy sending the sheep to the slaughter
@@Nykandros are you just going around the comment section ruining people's moments or what ? If so, get a life, kid.
@@Nykandros and not everyone is as heartless as you are. You damn animal.
The fact that the wolves tried intimidation first goes to show that they were never confident to take on Big Jack to begin with.
Ever seen how big anatolian shepherds can get?.. They're practically small horses..
Too be fair, winning a battle without fighting is the pinnacle of strategy.
That's how it works in nature too. Even small wounds can lead to certain death via infection soon down the line. Or permanent crippling, if they recover, which will make the next time they have to catch food more challenging for the rest of their lives. Humans have access to medicine, so we can recover from EXCEPTIONALLY grievous injuries that most wild predators would never even consider risking if they can help it. In this scenario, the wolves would have to dodge injuries from sheep hooves, the dog's fangs, AND the bullets of the shepherd before they'd get their meal. And you'd be surprised how many of the wolves would flinch at the risk involved with just the FIRST of those risks, let alone the more escalatingly more dangerous other two.
@Silver_2017 good dog..
@@nateklempner561Even without medicine humans are capable of surviving injuries that are game enders for anything else. From hyperactive scar tissue, resistance to shock (compared to other animals) even to the point of losing tbe use of an arm might not render a human out of the game. Add to that our willingness to take care of one of our own to recover from injuries that arent immediately fatal makes humans tough.
That’s what I like about this comic, no matter how many times I see it. He gets his job done, but when the little lamb asks him if it was a monster that he was talking to, he has the knowledge and compassion to tell him that the wolves were not monsters, just unfortunate animals.
Exactly, they're all just animals looking for some food, but regardless of his sympathy he's got a job to do
Reminds me of the owner of that sheepdog Casper and something he said, "We try to coexist with the coyotes out here, but once you cross that fence, that's where coexistence ends"
@@aydenburgess905 Oh yeah? Was that from a piece of media or real life?
@@SarahCherriBomb real life actually! two years ago it was in the news a lot, this guy woke up to a bunch of noise on his property and went outside to find his sheep herded into the corner of their fence by his sheepdogs Casper and Daisy because a huge pack of coyotes were trying to get to them, 11 of them
On top of having to protect the sheep, Daisy was pregnant with Casper's puppies, so while she stayed with the sheep Casper charged the coyotes and took all of them on, killed 3 within 10 seconds and chased the rest out of the fence and off the property. He disappeared with them and the owners started to think he was dead, until neighbors started finding dead coyotes near their property. He hunted them down and kept killing them, he killed at least 8 of them and came back 2 days later with injuries to his ear and tail, they took him to a vet and the lifeline animal project set up a gofundme to help cover Casper's medical bills, they got much more than they needed, 15,000 dollars, and the leftover money went to helping other animals
Daisy gave birth to their puppies, and Casper got to retire to being an inside dog
@@SarahCherriBomb It's a real life story of a sheperd dog that fough an entire pack of coyotes, killed several of them, hurt the rest and being injured He still jumped a fence to chase them down.
The dog survived with wounds that forced him to get surgery and got retired of being a sheperd dog, now living with his owners
Plus, assuring the lamb there weren’t any monsters ensures they won’t get needlessly scared. Very compassionate in many ways.
I had an anatolian shepherd. I was in a dark spot, and had done sonething i shouldnt have to cut my time short. She came up to me, nudged her head against my cheek and sat down. She knew something was wrong, i could tell.
I got the help i needed, and while its been very hard these past ten years, i have been recovering.
She passed away last year. Maybe writing this comment is silly or whatever, but she saved my life and bought me more time with the people i love.
I miss you, Belle. Maybe ill see you again some day, maybe i wont. But our time together was more than enough for me if we dont.
i'm glad that you're recovering and made it through! i'm happy that you had a good friend like that to keep you company when you were at your lowest.
i love your dog too
I'm going through something similar... Good on you. Never stop fighting.
Times are hard, but that love and care is everywhere
I’m sorry you went through this and I’m glad you had her and she had you. My dog is a malamute/husky and she has helped me so much. Idk what I do without her.
You'll see her again
I'm glad you're alive
"...We're hungry." I really felt that line near the end; you could hear the pitiful tone. They're not evil, heartless monsters, they're desperate, hungry animals, who just want to feed themselves and their families. They're just trying to survive.
and he understand that, but put a Line to the Ground. pure Respekt. love it :3
And the fact that there are too many humans makes that impossible. Think about that when they start deporting folks. Its certainly help wildlife if they do it right.
Nah fam. They're monsters. Wolves and men are sworn enemies. Wolves are menace. Now they are not a problem because our ancestors hunted the beast almost to its extinction. Even this comic doesn't shy from portraying them as evil. Wolves ought to hunt deer not sheep
Wolves are just animals who just want to survive, and have as much right to live as any creature. Real wolves are never evil. Only men are evil.
@@CJ-wh7ik talk like that exposes who the real monsters are, its the human killing the sheep for profit, the wolves for sport and to protect their profit, AND killing the dog by making him risk his life for easily replaced livestock that'll be slaughtered for profit sooner or later anyways.
Wolves wont sacrifice their own just for a meal. Thats the precious bond they share. I love how this comic shows both animals' best attributes. ❤
Actually, that's not because of a bond, it's because wolf packs are just nothing but a pack of family members, they basically won't hurt family
That's also the reason why alfas/betas thing about wolves is completely false, it's just all a family structure
@@Thispersonisreal "They don't have a bond, they're just a family!" 😆
They will if they're truly, truly, desperate and are completely out of better options, but it's hard for them to reach that point
@@Thispersonisreal Yeah that’s called a family bond which is a type of BOND.
yeah unfortunately they actually will eat sick or injured pack members.. so uh quite the bond
I LOVE how you voiced the dog especially. There’s a kind of firm strength with a tad bit of real melancholy for the wolves.
"you gonna die for some sheep"
"someone is"
he is called the hound for a reason
There are fifteen of us.

@Michael-kd1ho lol
Good one!
I think I felt my heart freeze over-
For the DnD nerds. This is the real Paladin - Lawful Good - he has a charge to defend a strike out if they are threatened and he did BUT also protected those who do harm. This kind of thing is why Paladins are Charismatic along with strength
Paladins also gain an immunity to fear
Well these wolves weren't evil. Just hungry. Imagine desperate and broke refugees trying to rob you. "Listen. I understand, I truly do, but we have no resources we can spare.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Though he had the strength to make any attack on the flock costly, he opted to go the route that resulted in no one getting hurt, but never backed down from the danger. A violent encounter was in no one's interest, but he was ready for it all the same.
The dialogue doesn't even need to change that much either to make this work, just imply that the paladin's master is their deity, and they'll definitely take note if the paladin starts making a ruckus.
@@RequiemPoete he didnt call the wolves evil.. he only said "those who do harm"
I literally just made a character based off of this
"Sure you can win, but it'll cost you, so ask yourself, is it worth the price?"
I love how(except the voice acting) none of them are potrayed as evil.
As the dog said they are just innocent animals who are trying to survive
I feel like even the voice acting isn't meant to convey they as evil. The speech bubbles used are black and sometimes have a whispered effect added. Usually, this is reserved for horror. They are meant to be creepy or threatening up until the point Big Jack points out they are just an animal doing what animals do, especially when pushed. They are desperate.
@@spookypooky1362 i meant as the wolf's voice acting indicated evil intentons even thou the poor thing had no such thing in their mind
Exactly, and you can easily read that as the wolves trying to make themselves sound scarier and more intimidating
....well...giving them a very posh polite way of speaking would be very inappropriate given that they wanted to kill a sheep or two..whimpering noises would also be weird..imo, the wolf's voice acting was spot on..a bit of snarling and he actually sounds wild and threatening..which how wolves are..
I don't think the voice acting is meant to make them sound evil, it's made to make them sound as they are portrayed: attempting to be as scary and threatening as they can.
I like how Big Jack went "At least One" implying that he swears he's going to take down one of them at a minimum if they attack, but he absolutely is going to do his best too add onto that number as much as possible if they try him.
Stone cold threat of a pupper who knows he'll die if it comes to a fight but will die hard against them if needed.
He made it clear he is above posturing and subterfuge, unlike the wolves who bluffed about their numbers and boasted about their abilities. Even so, that one is guaranteed, a constant in the equation.
There is an video from erzurum turkey , the native land of anatolian ( sivas) sheperds, a sivas kangal killed 4 wolfs that attack his herd and die later
As the song goes "How many of them can we make die?"
As r/HFY so eloquently puts it, "there is room in this grave for you too."
Main problem is wolves attack to the neck and shepherds put a spiked collar to the anatolian shepherd.So they cant kill it quickly by attacking to the neck and god forbid any live being who want to go war of attrition with an anatolian shepherd.They are big heavy and damn strong
My great uncle (R.I.P.) had 4 anatolian sheperds. They're called "kangals" in Turkey, they were the best dogs, the oldest one's name was paşa (pronounced pasha), he is still the best dog i ever met, he was about the size of a small car. Sadly, back in 2020, an unidentified person shot and killed paşa, we dont know why, and not long after that my great uncle lost his battle against lung cancer on August 7th, 2023 both will always be in my family's hearts, theyre both in heaven now.
R.I.P for both of them i am sure they were nice ppl and are in a far better place ❤
Hope you meet them again
Fun fact: the spiky dog collar originates from shepherding dogs, equipped with spiky collars to protect them from the wolf's favorite kill shot. The real ones are more akin to a buncho nails strapped to a dog's neck than the thick cone like spikes. Because of this a shepherd dog, the biggest of which is still smaller than a wolf, can usually take on a group of several and come out injured, but alive on four or five corpses. And while the injuries of the other wolves that run away may claim some, the dog will most likely be nursed to full health by the humans.
Years ago we lived in an area with a lot of very bold/ hungry coyotes. I ended up putting spiked collars on both my dogs. It looked particularly cute on the chihuahua, but made our Shepard mix look pretty intimidating
A kangal with spiked collar, cropped ears and a bad attitude makes ANYTHING think twice before messing around.
Casper can approve this. It really makes a difference, when he killed dozen coyotes.
Ohhhh, interesting! :D That's so cool!
One small correction though: kangals can grow much larger than wolves.
The voice of the wolves is gonna haunt me. Besides that, The Shepard's responses were the definition of "I go down, I'm dragging you with me"
I'm glad the voice had an impact >:)

@@MC-qm5jn fair enough my fellow cooked friend
It's nice to see something that's soo strikingly accurate about Anatolian shepherds in media. And this comic captures it well, they aren't some kill machines that can bring down wolves or some monster on a frenzy. They are deterrence, and deterrence they are. They're big enough to pose a threat to wolves (and easily decimate other hunters), they won't back down, they'll pursuit the enemy (sometimes going few kilometers after them just to drive them away from the herd), and they'll alert everyone. Any wolfpack that aims to attack the herd must eliminate the Anatolian from the equation first, otherwise it's impossible.

Cuz of this I remembered the story when group of coyotes attacked sheep of one farmer and his dog killed like 2 of them out of like 10. But he didn’t stop. When they started running away he killed another one. Then they lost him in forest. And after 3 day he returned back,he killed all of them. He tracked down and killed every single coyote that tried to attack the sheep. Of course he was wounded but he healed really quickly and was fine after that

Sometimes the most effective way to scare off your enemies is to use actual logic.
I'm not gonna lie but I think logic is scary to a lot of people because it shows them stuff they don't want to admit
Totally underrated comment right here!
Logic. And an absolute willingness to throw down your life if needed.
Being able to hold your own 10 to 1 (even if only for a moment) also helps.
Not to mention the ability to call in an even more powerfull ally. Should the need arise.
Staying calm and having the bodymass to back up your words helps a lot too
Logic, willingness, mass, and **** good backup if you need it.
Rough Cowboy, or stoic Scottish Warrior. Both fit Big Jack.
Love this comic so much, especially how many dubs have come out. Your version is especially creative.
I appreciate the effort but I couldn't concentrate on the story because of the accent. I'm Scottish and it was close but sounds kinda weird. Also, I know it doesn't matter but we haven't had wolves here for thousands of years so i don't think we have livestock guardian dogs. Still I'm glad people enjoyed this version!
Big jack might be turkish
Anatolians are a Turkish breed

Mutually assured destruction is the basis for respect. The threat of becoming embroiled in a fight where even if you win, you still lose, is the friction which keeps things civil.

This reminds me of the story of a Shepard dog that hunted down an entire pack of like 8 coyotes cos they attacked his flock and his pregnant mate was near them.
They might fail to defend the whole flock, but they damn sure will avenge them.
Edit: fixed story details
Your not the first one to mention this story. Does it have I title? I’m trying to find it.
@@strickplayer2116 I believe his name was Casper. If I remember right, the other sheep dog was pregnant at the time, so he had a lot he was protecting that night. He left for a week hunting down the whole pack and had to have surgery when they found him.
Yeah. What they ^ said. Look for "Dog kills 8 coyotes".
Oh I remember this story
You speak of the legendary CoyoteSlayer. Even now the wolves and coyotes still howl in fear and shame at the mere mention of his name.
Big Jack be like "I don't need to win, I just need you to lose". And that's fuckin cold.
"If you fight me, I will kill at least one of you, and if you're willing to sacrifice one of you to feed the rest, might as well just eat 'em now and save us all the trouble."
I don't know why exactly, but that was a really good part.
Its speaks to the futility of the struggle.
Kinda bad logic though. They’d have a dog, a wolf, and some sheep to eat too. Not considering the man with his rifle to kill them, of course
@@Non_Consistent_Potato I mean it's not bad logic. Because long term that would still be the ultimate sacrifice. Doesn't matter if there were multiple corpses that day. Next time you are hungry you are still one down.
@@Non_Consistent_Potato They're wolves. They can only eat what can fill their bellies. It's not like they can save some for later, you know. One wolf could easily fill the bellies of nine others, anything more than that would just go to waste.
It's a fantasy scenario meant to make empaths feel a sense of strength lol. IRL Kangals MIGHT fare well against Turkish Wolves but those are far smaller than Greys, and even that's a struggle for the Kangal. Two Greys would be more than enough to maul the shepherd, much less 5 or even 10 which is just overkill.
The dog would be dead & the wolves would have made it off with 3 sheep before the master could get dressed & make it outside; they would suffer no casualties.
My favorite version of this was from Sense8 of all shows, it went something like: “my mother stood there with her kitchen knife and all ten of the men knew that they could easily overpower her but she’d kill at least one of them, and none of them wanted to be that one.”
Been a while since I heard that show
I think I saw a nearly identical scene in that Puss in Boots show years ago.
The sheepdog knew he could not take them all but he does a great job pointing out that such an attack would not be worth it to the wolves.
Wolves care about their pack mates and the farmer and dog will make the sacrifice too much for them to handle.
"Mighta jus' pick that one and eat em" is an incredibly brutal line and one that appeals to the situation just brutal
It's smart because it incites conflict among the pack. Not only none of them want to be one to die, but they also fear that the others are willing to sacrifice them.
The loyalty of animals to humans never ceases to amaze me, particularly dogs and horses. It's our responsibility to make sure that we earn that loyalty every day.
We really lucked the hell out when we were breeding dogs and managed to get the, I think it's called, "hyper-sociability gene" or such. Which basically makes them, well, hyper social. Came with a large scoop of loyalty to their 'pack'. It's quite interesting to read about. People have been trying to get the same gene in other animals, like foxes. But no luck. Same for cats.
@@troll5262that's super interesting... Makes me wonder if other herd or pack animals also have that gene, like coyotes or lions.
@@troll5262 they need to try with group animals. foxes and cats aren't like that. you prolly can get it out of goats ... maybe even more out of predators that also live in groups.
@@MidniteSpectre coyotes is very likely(they are simular to dogs and wolves) .... lions not an chance ...
Dog is as only as good as the owner that trained it
I had an anatolian for 2 years after his people abandoned him.
He was already 13 years old and spent his life defending them, and then they emmigrated and just left him.
He was such a good dog. Hardest I've EVER worked with, but he spent his last years on a big cushion on the porch.
Yes they are. My old girl was an anatolian shepherd, and she was quite the guardian. May she rest in peace.
Love the way the comic not only acknowledges the animals, but the human too.
The dog knowing that no animal can outsmart a bullet is dope asf
Reminds me of the story of a sheep dog who got attacked by a pack of coyotes.
It hurt his wife. And he was n the woods for nearly a week.
He. Killed. The. Entire. Pack.
And came back out alive, wounded, Weak, and covered in blood. Not just his own.
Edit I got the story a tad off
So at 3 or so in the morning a farmer wakes up to a commotion. He sees his two guard dogs, a male and a *pregnant female* surrounded by 11 cayots.
In a 30 minute struggle the male (Casper) killed 8 of them.
Then ran after the rest. He was gone for 2 days. And presumed dead.
Later he comes limping out of the forest. And later they find the body of the 3 that escaped him.
He really didnt want any sorvivors
Bro was fight or die for his family. Respect the hell out of that.
@@CJVS995 yep. And cayotes r no joke. They are small but crazy smart and use it to trick and eat dogs
He protected his bloodline by destroying theirs
When your goody good doggy doggo boy read Berserk.
The saga of Big Jack and his little sheepies must continue!!!!!
"No. No monsters. Just some poor critters." That line seriously made me misty eyed. Good dog
that gave me chills. amazing voice acting. i mean. that's why i love your channel.
I like how this video addresses misconceptions towards wolves. Theyre not monsters or evil, just creatures trying to survive like everything else.
The entire thing was intense. One wrong move or hesitation would have spelled a bad night.
1:19 peak voice acting!
YE CANT DEFEND THE WHOLE HERD FROM TWO ATTACKS
1:58 I love the detail of "playing" the next panel before playing Big Jack's next line.
Big Jack told zero lies. Zero to the poor critters, and zero to the lamb.
I really like that Jack calls them Porr Critters.
"There are many of you. But I am willing to lay down my life for these sheep. That means you will probably bring me down... but I will not go down _easily_ or _quietly._ And some of you will be _going down with me..._ and I promise the first to charge is gonna be among them, if nobody else. So if we're gonna do this, let's do this. Who is going to be the first?"
"You're really gonna die for some sheep?"
*"Perhaps."*
The "Are you?" Is very real here 😅
"Someone is".🐺
🐸
There's the comment I was looking for @@vedymin1
@@vedymin1Funny how that's a quote from a character called 'The Hound.' Fitting
The voice acting is on point, the calm and collected Shepherd Dog, and Vicious Wolves, was great.
Thank you! :D
@@sjharris4654 you all were superb.
My favorite part is how Big Jack doesn't feel the need to threaten them or boast or anything. He's just brutally honest about what will happen to them and that's all that was what he needed.
Wolf: Ready to die for some lost lambs, old mutt?!
Shepherd: Aye. Are you?
💀
Disney needs voice actors like these
Agree
Mr. Wagner Moura, the voice of Death in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, is who you’re looking for.
...and screenwriters like this.
Yeah, scriptwriters are more important for them at this point
I’m turkish and I never imagined our dogs having Scottish accents but it strangely fits them so well lol
o sırada traktör sürüp çay içen kangallar (iskoç aksanı çok uyuyor):
Such an epic story and man the voice acting is INSANE.
The Scottish accents make this so much better, along with the bored expression on Jack’s face. He’s Liam Neeson if he were a dog. And the wolves are like, “Slink away boys, slink away” 😂
Neeson is from Northern Ireland
@ Yes, thank you Captain Pedant, I know that
@ sorry, I’m so used to dealing with online Americans…..they can’t tell one Celt from another 😆
@@captainl-ron4068 Understandable, lol
He looked so cute on the cover that I clicked on it immediately. My beautiful boy closed his eyes a few days ago. He is also badass and always carries his scars as a sign of his courage. This video made me cry.
I'm sure that he was a very good boy and a great friend.
May his soul be blessed and get taken care of in puppy heaven
Man this reminds me of our old dog.
He has been protecting our herds for more than a decade, he died of old age last April.
He was a great companion.
Wolves: You’re outnumbered
Big Jack: But never outmatched
These dog comics understands nature more than any other series I've read. Whether your a tiny Chihuahua or a fully grown wolf, they are all desperate to survive which leads to acts of cruelty and the chippening of one's soul. There are times where we can't always help but we can, at the very least, always be kind.
FYI! The Anatolian Shepherd/Kangal Shepherd Dog is a traditional Turkish breed of large livestock guardian dog. Anatolians descend from some of the oldest known domestic-canine bloodlines. This lends the breed a sense of timelessness, a no-frills, untouched quality that takes us back 6,000 years to the Bronze Age. Anatolians are smart, devoted, responsive, and adaptable. They will protect their flock'livestock, children, smaller dogs. Anatolian Shepherd Dog's bite force is around 743 PSI - they have the highest bite force of any breed of dog. As comparison, a pitbull's bite force is measured around 240-330 PSI and a wolf's bite force is measured around 1200 PSI.
You are right about alot but Anatolian and Kangal are different breeds. Although fairly close
@@captainofthecontrarians4204 As far as I know, Anatolian shepherd is a breed produced from Kangal by Americans (because in Turkey, it is forbidden to export purebred Kangals). Only difference they have its their sizes. Kangal is massive. Anatolian shepherd is little bitty smaller. thats the only difference
Also Europe’s Federation Cynologique Internationale considers the two breeds to be so similar that they are classed as the same
Jesus christ, I have a Kangal dog from Afghanistan. She is a descendent of the Anatolian Shepherd bloodline, old blood, this literally brought tears to my eyes. She is past her prime, but this is her to a tee! Thank you again!
Kangal from afghanistan? wtf :D it's belong to Sivas which is a mother city of Kangal. interesting.
btw Kangal and Anatolian Shepherd is 2 different kind.
Do they have kangals in Afghanistan? Weird
I like how the entire time they used intimidation to mitigate losses. It really mixed logic and emotion to convey a sense of cruelty
Respect for one’s opponent is never a bad thing. It’s when that respect turns into self doubt that you will fail.
If a sheepdog was capable of speech I would be delighted if they would be as honourable and loyal as this fine lad.
the accents makes it SO much better
So calm and stradfast even if he is sympathetic with them, his job is to orotect and he eill do it no matter what. And the ice cold: One if you will not live if you attack, pick that one and eat it.
The way the other froze in shock at how utterly ruthless, but no less kind he was about it sends shivers up my spine.
Masterful work, the story highlights the paradox of predators, they need to kill to eat but they’re always wary of risk to themselves, the Shepherd knows this and convinced them the sheep aren’t worth the risk.
So true. Going after livestock is a death sentence.
@@AlmaWadeCrymsmBut so is starving to death. When wolves take such a risk, it’s mean they didn’t find any prey for days.
You really realize a lot more of why Jack acts the way he does after seeing the other comic. It’s amazing storytelling.
This is a good example of why deterrence works. You don’t have to be strong enough to win. Just strong enough to make fighting too painful to be worth it.
That's one hell of negotiation.
Dude I just discovered your channel and I loved it. I had an Anatolian Sheperd as my first dog, she was the bravest pup I have ever seen and defended our home with every fiber of her being.
Seeing Jack reminded me of her
Lamb: Big Jack…I’m scared can I sleep by you?
Big Jack: Sure.
Lamb: (lies down)….You’re my hero Big Jack.
He doesn't know Big Jack is protecting that lamb so his master can eat him eventually
@@thus.spoke.zarathustraThats not necessarily true. The farmer could have the sheep for wool, not meat
Why is this random youtube person a better voice actor than the celebrities studios pay a bazillion dollars for? 😂
There are 3 of us voice acting in this :D
Brian Jeffords is Big Jack
Bell Heart is the Lamb
And I am the wolves and the bigger sheep
@@sjharris4654you really killed it as the wolf, great job
@@sjharris4654 Wait... You were literally a wolf in sheep's clothing?
why do you re ta rds always feel the need to find something to cry about? What a sad life you must live.
I love how you can hear the wolf growl through his words. Shows that there’s some feral anger coming through and even matches his tone. It’s like the wolf has to growl in order to talk and its brief loss of composure makes it way more awesome
My heartiest respect to the voice cast (and the artist of course) excellent work. Gave me goosebumps the whole way
This shit's written like a Baki chapter and I'm extremely here for it. 1:57 That face man
That does look like a Baki face
*Snifffff*
"Hmm.

That went too hard
