This is Richard. He's sometimes accused of not being a real dog because of his weird paws and inability to bark. Thinks his pack would say otherwise. 12/10 for all (IG: richardandtheguardians)

Good dog

Is he on the lam? 😄

Michele Ellis · 27d

I’d like to see someone accuse Richard of not being part of that Guardian pack in front of me. I’ve seen him grow up with the rest of them. Besides, he does Baa Baa Baak. The Guardians accept Richard in their pack. So should everyone else!

@tinker-b.bsky.social · 27d

Nice takeaway!

Richard! In this moment I can't think of anything better than being the one who gets to walk that pack through the woods. I volunteer. DMs are open. ;)

Looks like a dawg to me 🧐.

POSSIBLE EVIDENCE OF CENSORSHIP ON BLUESKY · 27d

Cute 🥰 video… It prompts you to ponder 🤔 how the Wolf 🐺 became our friend >50,000ya… & if there is any solid evidence that The Wolf helped us to domesticate Sheep 🐑! What the point? Together We are stronger than We were before We learned from Wolves 🐺 how to act like a PACK! Arf-arf-arf! 🇺🇸 🤠

I only see a pack of dogs 🤣😂

Just a hoofed poodle really

No worries, Richard, those Anatolians with keep you with the pack.

These dogs are so accepting. We can learn from them. As for Richard, he's cool.

You only rate dogs, so Richard is clearly a dog 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ecouturemn.bsky.social · 27d

I used to have a goat. His name was Baby (and a few other names - he was a naughty goat). His pack was Sparky and Smokey, 140+# wolf hybrids that loved running along Baby's sides and bouncing him between them, ala 'Night at the Roxbury'.

I've heard them called wool-cats but they also come in wool-dog variety too. Richard is the best good boy!

@phyllishistorian.bsky.social · 28d

Our differences are on the outside. If we look inside, we recognize kin.😊

Ms HummingWay · 28d

Diversity is good. 🐕🐑 And, if you could see Richard chase a ball, or carry a stick, you'd know ~~ no diff! 🧡

Richard is a very good boy 🐾

Le désobéissant 🏴Ministre fantôme pour les ministres fantômes · 28d

Nose ✔️ Head ✔️ Body ✔️ 4 legs ✔️ Tail ✔️ Inability to bark (due to a sore throat, or shyness) ✔️ Weird paws are still paws (as reported by cat lovers) ✔️ Dog test passed! It's a dog.

Disco · 28d

More Richards and Richard's frens, please.

Bblitz · 28d

He identifies as a dog. And I have absolutely no problem with that. You go Richard!

Defender of the Constitution · 27d

So...he identifies as a dog! What's the issue? No judgement!. He looks like a good puppy!

@paulad558.bsky.social · 28d

❤️❤️❤️

Gemma · 28d

Lower mountain rock herders are often confused for other animals. These dogs are the smart ones, immediately knowing when they are in the presence of one of their own. Please excuse the headbutts.

Scho · 28d

Is it because he's ginger?

Chris Loth · 27d

Looks like those dogs are his herd to watch over, they seem to be a bit frightened of him also. If you watch closely and don't just fall for the cuteness of all that fluff ^^

As a lad I had a ewe raised with Great Pyrenees. She modeled her behavior on the dogs. It was hilarious when she would join the the dogs barking at whatever, but unable to bark herself, she silently stood with them looking alert and a wee bit confused.

Sheep have a habit of adopting other packs/herds. We have a local one that thinks it’s a donkey. In France one of them adopted a herd of Friesian cows, despite the larger herd of sheep it started with. Nature works in mysterious ways.

IrishIceSP · 28d

Richard is a mega version of one of my favorite dogs ever in my life. I babysat her and her human girls. She also had THE most perfect name for a silver blue elderly, extremely delicate lady who bounced on her tiptoes when she walked: Bedlington Terrier Miss Holiday Blue Foxy. 🩵🩵🩵
