He is very safe we have a fence and on the outside of it there is an electric fence so the cows  or (coyotes) cant get in the yard. I have tryed to get him to sleep in the house but he thinks its his job to protect us at night, I guess cause he comes inn in the day time to sleep.  lol  I have had him for 7 years and he is a mommies boy and I think I would die if anything happened to him.
