OK, now that I have poked fun at the Funky Monkey, I used to have one of these monster dogs. The people we bought this farm from moved out and left it here, but he was mean and a neighborhood nuisance, so off to the Great Pyraneese rescue he went.
He needed a job besides terrorizing the neighbor's cattle. A family with a flock of sheep was thrilled to have him. Everyone ended up happy with that one, Dakota most of all.
