There are many things I love about Sebastian. The way his kind inner feeling are expressed is absolutely wonderful. I got Sebastian as a guardian for my small herd of mixed animals, mostly sheep and goats, although I have a few emu and llama. Not only does he watch over them, he really concerns himself with their well-being. As is common with this breed, Sebastian actually acts as if he is adopting the herd, never mind which animal or breed they are.

He is rather aloof of strangers and would rather be with his mixed family. They, in turn, have come to trust my giant as their protector. It is common to see a lost sheep or misplaced newborn under the care of Sebastian. He will care for them as long as is needed or until the mother reclaims the lost.

Sebastian often endures abuse from the animals that are in his charge if it means endearing himself to them. He bonds so deeply with his 'new' family that he will exhibit a certain amount of depression if they are separated from him. Of course Sebastian views himself as an equal with our family, including our children. He has bonded with us much the same way as he has with our herd. He just loves to love. What a wonderful and beautiful creature this guardian is. I've never owned an animal that displays such nurturing characteristics outside of his own species and immediate family circle. I truly wish humans could be as caring as Sebastian.
