There are numerous dog breeds, each excelling in different roles, from guarding property and herding cattle to assisting law enforcement.
Even our household pets can be trained to be helpful around the house, like fetching the newspaper from the front yard. On farms, dogs often serve as supervisors for other animals, protecting them from potential threats.
In this particular case, a Labrador was unintentionally trained to guide its buffalo companion back home after their work in the fields. The buffalo, pulling a cart, would frequently stop to graze on roadside grass, but the determined dog wouldn’t allow it. The dog barked and tugged on the buffalo’s rope, urging it to return home before darkness fell.
Eventually, the buffalo gave in and followed the dog all the way back to the farm. The furry canine looked satisfied and triumphant as the buffalo followed its lead.
The owner mentioned that he didn’t intentionally train his Labrador to herd the buffalo, suggesting that the clever dog may have learned from observing his actions. Passersby found this scene amusing, as they had never witnessed a dog pulling a buffalo by the rope before.
Since then, the owner purposely allows his dog to take the buffalo out for its meals, and the dog is responsible for bringing the buffalo back home after feeding time.
