“Sheepdogs keep the sheep safe from danger outside the fence. The sheep? They resent the sheepdogs because those dogs are scary—they look too much like wolves. They growl and bite and have sharp teeth and strong jaws. You know who else hates the sheepdogs? The wolves. Because the sheepdogs are doing their jobs, the wolves go hungry. But every day, the sheepdogs perform their duties, putting their lives on the line to protect those who resent them, and with zero thanks.”
