Sheep see the dog as part of the herd, since it's a guard dog. The reaction seems natural, basically a sheep comforting a "sheep" after a traumatic situation. Don't ask the sheep why the "sheep" was able to fight off two wolves tho :d

I'm surprised the wolves were even able to find the sheep in that terrain. The greyer ones blend quite well.

If only the dog could save them from the slaughter house

They still go to the slaughterhouse at a fraction of their usual lifespan

Which probably still gives them longer lives than the average wild sheep

A quick google:
Wild sheep(mouflon) live 8 to 12 years in the wild.
Farmed sheep are killed at 3 to 6 years old (excluding lamb which are killed at between 10 weeks to 6 months old)

So that’s a resounding no.

I mean, don't get me wrong, humanity is definitely to blame for this, but I really doubt a domesticated sheep has the same life expectancy in the wild as a mouflon

You mean the domesticated sheep doesn’t have the instincts anymore to run from predators? My dog also doesn’t have the same instincts as a wild wolf but I’m not gonna kill and eat them because of that.
