Joking aside... there are TWO basic types of shepherd. One (e.g. Border Collie) is trained by appealing to (and controlling!) the hunter in the shepherd. There IS also another approach, in which the shepherd is raised with the flock, and thinks of itself as one of the flock. This "llama" just happens to have sharp teeth!

I almost got a candid shot (note attire from waist down), but an adult threw the kid the hat and cape to "improve" the picture.
