On a southern Florida chicken farm, Shilo the Great Pyrenees watches over dozens of free-range hens to make sure they're safe and protected. Per the video description, the farmer says that the Shilo and another dog started watching the hens when they were just one-year-old puppers. The hens at the time were just four-week-old chicks.

If you listen closely, you'll hear a little 'ping, ping' in the background. That's just those little hens pecking away at Shilo's shiny dog tag.
