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

Is it because they see the guard dog as the g.o.a.t of the sheeps? (-:
