I visited Tibet last year and went up to the Himalayas. The view is amazing, so close it's like you could touch the sky.

The Tibetan Mastiff reflects its use as a guardian of herds, flocks, tents, villages, monasteries, and palaces, much as the old English ban-dog was a dog tied outside the home as a guardian. However, in nomad camps and in villages, the Tibetan Mastiff is traditionally allowed to run loose at night and woe be unto the stranger who walks abroad after dark.
