This article about a study on grizzly bears versus livestock guardian dogs is rather amazing.

https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/study-finds-guard-dogs-significantly-reduce-grizzly-encounters-on-farms

Reductions of 87.8% in grizzlies coming near farmsteads and 94.1% reduction in grizzly time spent on farmsteads. Particularly those farms with grain spillage, which is a major bear attractant.

So cool.
