Livestock Guardian Dog's First Encounter With Predator Doesn't Go as Expected

TikTok creator @karenannekoi recently added a puppy to their household, hoping he would grow into a brave livestock guardian dog for their chickens. Initially, the pup appeared ready for the taskuntil he encountered his very first predator. Things didnt exactly go as expected!

In the video, the puppy rushes into the backyard, barking at a raccoon attempting to sneak into the chicken coop for a quick snack. At first, the raccoon seems prepared to retreat, but then he changes his mind. It quickly becomes clear that the young pup might not yet be ready for his guardian duties.

Karen humorously captioned the clip, "Had to bring our Akita in to show him how its done LOL! Hes still just a baby. Only his ego got hurt."
