Need a link to story about sheepdogs and cheetahs

Hi everyone- my dad saw the tail-end of a piece on CNN that was showing sheepdogs being used to herd animals in Africa and protect them from big cats. I found a story on ABCnews.com about Cheetahs being discouraged form killing herds of goats and sheep in Africa by being chased off by sheepdogs. The article mentioned Anatoliam Sheepdogs, not OES, but my dad said the pics he saw on CNN looked like OES (I think the Anatolian Sheepdog is believed to be one of the OES ancient relatives)

At any rate - anybody know anything about this? Anyone see the piece on CNN? And if so, do you know where I can go to see pics? The CNN website had nothing and the piece on ABCnews.com had no pics.

Thanks in advance!

Up.

I saw the story last night on the news and the piece I saw did not have any OES' in it. Another channel could have shown more than what I saw though!

I did a few searches and only came up with vague articles with no pictures.
Could have been a Maremma (sp?) Sheepdog. They look hairy like a sheepdog but are more aggressive in herding and protecting.
