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.

[@tyrongkojy]

Everyone's gotta eat. Why discriminate just because something is less cute?

[@cosmicreef5858]

Because he feels for the sheep to

[@monsterwolf4086]

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

[@spacerunner357]

Yes

[@pedrourbano501]

1:40 he just used the Heavy logic: "I've yet to meet one who can outsmart bullet."

[@spacerunner357]

Hmm Heavy.

Shepard Dog be like: I know I can't win. But I'll make sure YOU won't either.

[@ControllerL3-D]

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.

[@MyWorldOf11]

was it wolves though?

[@clovernacknime6984]

@@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.

[@ControllerL3-D]

@@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.

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

​​@@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

[@skylerfisher4347]

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!

[@axelwust9376]

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

[@TheTimon64]

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. ❤

[@Thispersonisreal]

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

[@clovernacknime6984]

@@Thispersonisreal "They don't have a bond, they're just a family!" 😆

[@Amy_the_Lizard]

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

[@haydenwoodyard3624]

⁠@@Thispersonisreal Yeah that’s called a family bond which is a type of BOND.

[@arifhossain9751]

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

[@strickplayer2116]

Your not the first one to mention this story. Does it have I title? I’m trying to find it.

[@RukilEngetsu]

@@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.

[@arifhossain9751]

Yeah. What they ^ said. Look for "Dog kills 8 coyotes".

[@Briggsy-pq2ht]

Oh I remember this story

[@williamnone]

You speak of the legendary CoyoteSlayer. Even know the wolves and coyotes still howl in fear and shame at the mere mention of his name.

[@ghosthunter448]

Finally, the big Jack comic dub we been waiting for.

[@thenerdbeast7375]

The fact that the wolves tried intimidation first goes to show that they were never confident to take on Big Jack to begin with.

[@gioanysgonzalez3396]

Sometimes the most effective way to scare off your enemies is to use actual logic.

[@abysswatcher3679]

to me the Anatolian Shepherd was sending out a mixture of f**k around and find out energy and black airforce energy

[@cosmicreef5858]

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

[@stefansalvatierra4913]

Big Jack and Brutus would make good friends..

[@CharmedWitch4]

As well as the little lamb and Pixie.

[@andixpiwi8325]

that gave me chills. amazing voice acting. i mean. that's why i love your channel.

John Wick of Dogs.

Bork Wick

[@chase_birdeevogel4784]

Nah they actually had enough sense to listen to the dog. They never listen to John when he warns them.

[@SarahCherriBomb]

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.

[@xanatos1579D]

The saga of Big Jack and his little sheepies must continue!!!!!

[@wessel7882]

Such an epic story and man the voice acting is INSANE.

[@spacerunner357]

I really like that Jack calls them Porr Critters.

[@MapleTreeGamingYT]

The entire thing was intense. One wrong move or hesitation would have spelled a bad night.

[@ZY_Nightmare]

I’ve seen this comic before, still hits

[@semprequevoceleroscomentar1358]

Sheep: "Between you and the wolves, who is the strongest?" Big Jack: "Well, if the whole pack came at once, they might cause me a little trouble." Sheep: "But would you lose?" Big Jack: "Nah, i'd win."

[@ze_glitchy_gamer7629]

The deep Scottish voice gives me chills

[@philippeparvais284]

The dog has aura

[@RaccoonsTrashVault]

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.

[@sharkt9877]

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.

[@squeethemog213]

Damn, that was awesomely preformed. Bravo! 👏

[@josephmaller592]

Dog: I suggest cabalism over sheep. Me: That’s hush.
