I seriously don’t know how this guy has so much patience as a six month old puppy. Today he once again snuck into the juvenile emu field while I was at work. When I came home and pulled up to my gate I noticed Rooster was in the baby emu field. I was immediately concerned because they were all running up and down the far fenceline. I once again doubted him, thinking he was chasing them, as I would expect a puppy might do.
I was wrong. He was just trotting along in the middle of the mob, one of the gang. When they would reach one corner of the field, they would all turn and go trotting the other way. I watched for several laps and never once did I see him try to harm the babies. It was just a bunch of kids having fun. They finally noticed me sitting there and everyone came over to say hi.
Rooster stayed with the babies until I came down to feed everyone and this is how I found them 😍☺️
