Sheepdog says if a burglar breaks in, show him your wolf photo

A shepherd in the Shaanxi province in China was in a fix. His sheep dog had died, he couldn't afford to buy another one, and since he wasn't a bank, insurance company or UAW member, wasn't expecting a bailout anytime soon.

After visiting a local wildlife park, he had an idea. He said, "They had a flock of rare sheep and as a joke one of the keepers had put a picture of a wolf in the enclosure. But I noticed that the sheep never went near it."

So the shepherd now moves his sheep around by carrying a large photo of a wolf.
