More: Angus' breed was trained to keep lions at bay in Africa and to protect the farmers' families. In actuality, Angus is loyal, dignified, gentle, and reserved. He loves people and dogs and loves hiking in the woods. He has long legs so that he scrambles over large rocks in the streams and ponds very cautiously. He loves to eat our food especially salmon, sweet potatoes, sardines and cooked vegetables like Brussels sprouts and any kind of cheese.
