The Chivera (Goat Dog...True Story)

Once on a ranch in Texas, a new pup was born, the mother had died
           An old Mexican man that worked there, put the pup on a nanny goat
    As time went on, the dog stayed with the goat herd day and night, the dog thought 
    it was a goat

People around here are getting goats again. A person not to far from us has them. He purchase a dog that was imprinted so that it would stay with the goats and protect them. We have coyetas here now and there are always dogs that have gone wild so the herds have to have protection. One of our daughters has cattle and they got a donkey that suppose to protect the herd same principle here. I like the humor even though it is true. I wonder if our pets think that they are human.
