So happy for Brad that he's home for good. Heartwarming story. The "dog on demand" idea is awesome. Great way for dogs to get activities and help get them adopted. The ducks being watched over is a lovely story of humans doing right by animals.
Jenn, the increase of subscribers to your channel is impressive, and you deserve all the accolades that come with the success of your channel. Your video compilations are delightful. Thank you for sharing your work with us. 😊
Some sheep in Iceland are 'leadership sheep' (foristufé) They know their way and keep the flock together. Recently a farmer sent one (a ram) out to find some missing sheep and he came back with 3.
If you are making more content this holiday week, may I suggest the owl that flew down a chimney and perched in top of a Christmas tree? It was so cute and I'd love to hear about it in your sweet storytelling style 🎄❤
These are all really lovely! Thank you, Jenn, for looking out for the wellbeing of all of us. I hope you are having a happy holiday season and will have a joyful new year. ❤
Brad is an Icelandic Leadersheep. They are able to navigate their way home and lead other sheep home even in a blizzard. A prized gene among Icelandic breeders.
For anyone who knows the "James Herriot" vet books, the author (Alf White? I think...) was a vet in Thirsk. In fact all the stories are based on his life there. His last student vet stayed, and has only fairly recently retired from the same practice (though it had moved to bigger premises over the years). Last I heard he was still working as a vet in another place as retirement didn't really stick 😂!
Love the stories about the dog adventure rentals in Hawaii and the duck patrol in England. Such neat and sweet stories!! Thank you for what you do, Jen!! You're showcasing people who are making this world a little more brighter!!
Brad is an Icelandic breed of sheep, specifically a Leadersheep. They are different than most sheep in several ways. One, they shed their wool, though it is usually sheared, it’s not necessary. Two, and most important for Brad is he is special within Icelandic sheep because he has a coveted special genetic gene, he is a leadersheep. Leadersheep are able to navigate their way home and to safety even in blizzards, leading the herd with them. This why Brad had no problem making his way home again. I’m sure his owners want him as his genetics are prized among Icelandics sheep breeders.
In the sixties when I was a kid we had a beagle dog named Peedie and he may have nipped at a neighbor, so Mom and Dad sent him 50 miles away to a farm permanently in spite of my protest. One month later I came home from school and Peedie was on our front porch and we did not send him back. Animals have a way of communicating with other animals that can help guide them, just like in the movie "101 Dalmatians."
FYI... you can "borrow" a shelter dog at just about any shelter in the US. So if you're looking for the coolest date without any expectations, take a dog on a play day! You'll enjoy it and be helping out your local shelters. As well as all of those poor dogs that just cannot handle being locked in a cage.
When I was a child, I spent a summer on a chicken farm, (my great-uncle's farm) but he also had Suffolk sheep. Including a Grand Champion. I still, as a child, wanted a goat. Fast forward from 1982 to 2021 (freaking forty years!) and after the C*vid thing, I wanted some sheep. Jacob Sheep in particular. They had four horns, looked like both goats and miniature cows, and were sheep. Then fast forward to 2024, January, I got a tiny foundation herd of Nubian Dwarf goats. I love the goats, but I *LOVE* the sheep. They are absolutely awesome animals. Recently I re-homed one of my foundation animals. My favorite. I find that the joy is less intense without her. (But, realistically, a near 200 lb sheep who likes to jump in your lap, when you're 55, is just a little too too much). But I love my sheep. The goats are great, but the sheep are the best. My heart goes out to the bravery of Brad, who did the near-impossible, traveled without companionship for forty miles. That's heroic in sheep terms. Right now my Sheep Ram and my Goat Buck are hanging out together. I want to get my other ram out with the first one, and let the goat back with his girls. But it's hard to convince a ram he wants to hang out with the boys.
I doubt you'll see this buuuut, I just saw an YT advertisement claiming "you can feed a shelter dog a treat, everyday" but it was YOUR VOICE, and it sounded chopped and edited. I wanted to give you a heads up. I didn't catch the exact name of the advertiser but I will next time and will comment it somewhere else on one of your new videos. I hate to see a crap company profiting from using your voice without permission.
I don't think people who don't raise livestock understand the Brad situation. He was being sent away as unrelated breeding stock and in order to stay with his mother and sister, in order to prevent inbreeding accidents, he will have to be castrated because where there's a female in heat, there's a dumb male who has no concerns about being related.
This channel is a gift. Thank you
Truly is.
I sooo agree ❤️
Brad is on the "lam(b)." Good for him. I'm glad he is back home.
Best comment I've seen today! 😂
"Brad". "Braad". "Braaad". ""Braaaad". Love it.
To funny
Lol

Brad is brilliant! If I was that far from home, I’d have no idea how to get back, even with a compass!
*braaad
Lol i didn't notice the first time I saw this video but on the second, every time braad is mentioned, the captions always had more that 1 A
Brad knows the importance of family! Good job Brad! ♥🐑
That is amazing Brad the sheep found his way back home !
Great navigation skills ! 👏😃
*Braaaad
Homing skills/drive are innate in many animals.

Brad is a leadersheep. They have a specific gene that allows them to navigate their way and other sheep home even in a blizzard.
These are all really lovely! Thank you, Jenn, for looking out for the wellbeing of all of us. I hope you are having a happy holiday season and will have a joyful new year. ❤

_Brad_ was feeling _sheepish_ about the move...😊
Thank you Jenn.
Thank you!
Love you Jen!
Check out the big brain on Brad!!!
Love both stories, but sure wish they could do something like take out an elderly person for the walk or patio Cafe adventure.😊
Brad wanted to be home for the holidays with his family!
Great video. ❤❤❤
That sheep is on the lamb... 😁🤣
I live in Iceland, and let me tell you, Icelandic sheep can be stubborn as Hell!
Go brad go! ❤️

I'm glad that the sheep 🐑 got back..
Brad is the Luigi M. of sheep
Well, I mean once they found the burner phone with his hoof prints on it, behind the 7-Eleven, it was just a matter of time before he was captured.
That's what you get for naming him Brad, they're all troublemakers
Braaad wants to go home!! 😂
"So, waaaaaauts wroaaaaaaahng with me just bee innz on aaaa laaaaaaamb?"
Duck crossing guards ❤❤😂
I like how u spelled Braaaad’s name. I saw what u did there 😂😂😂😂

And God gave Man dominion over the Animals.
Treat them well.

We Brads, do not like taking direction. Give us a last name of Butcher, and we become Gods.
😺
Whooohoo #900
Return the dog…nope
Boooo that Hawaii doesn’t let dogs in
