First, the term “Sheepdog” for police officers, military and other first responders is a big compliment. But, I think there is a huge difference, which I will point out in a moment.

I can’t help but recall the Warner Bros. cartoons in Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies featuring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog. Highly entertaining and one of the most prominent scenes is when Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog would clock in or out for work.

Many people use the term “Sheepdogs” in reference to Police, Military and other First Responders. It is meant as a compliment, but I sometimes beg to differ from the popularity of this term of endearment.
