The goats and the patou

We came across goats and the Pyrenean mountain dog protecting them while walking today. We put Luke on the lead and the mountain dog saw him off barking all the way. Fortunately, we were able to pass without incident. It was quite a tough walk up to the two chapels above Villefranche, 675 metres of ascent and 12 kilometres in total. We arrived back just before the rain but had time to reward ourselves with an ice cream.
