German Shepherd dogs are medium to large-sized dogs that originated from Germany and are built for working and labor. They are strong and fast, the perfect choice for herding sheep which was the initial reason that this breed of canine was developed for.

Eventually, people recognized that German Shepherd dogs possess more capabilities than what was expected of them. Their strength, intelligence, obedience and high level of trainability has widened these dogs’ role in society. Because of these abilities, this dog breed is now a major preference when it comes to assisting the disabled, conducting search and rescue missions and police and military work.

The German Shepherd is not always seen as a gentle dog, despite its obedience. This is probably brought by its wolf-like appearance which makes it look menacing and fierce.

However, one dog from this breed is proving everyone wrong because, despite his strong build and fierce features, this canine is a gentle soul who loves to care for and hang out with delicate little chicks.

Yes, you read it right; a big doggo with a gentle demeanor. This dog is none other than Charon, a black German Shepherd who totally likes to bond with dainty newborn chicks!

In a YouTube video posted in the channel Rumble Viral, a group of newly hatched quail chicks is seen inside a white bucket, eager to go out in the world and roam around. They looked so cute as they excitedly cram inside the bucket, waiting for their chance to walk on the ground.

Sweet Charon eventually comes by and curiously watches the quail chicks inside the bucket. He could not help but to bring his nose closer to the bucket, trying to understand more about the tiny hatchlings.

When the bucket was slowly tipped to let the chicks out, Charon patiently and quietly waited as the chicks were being let out. The dog looked really curious but still behaving as he silently watched one chick go out after another.

One by one, the hatchlings make their way on the ground. They were absolutely tiny and adorable!

At first, Charon appeared to be watching things slowly, taking his time and carefully looking at the little quail chicks that go out of the bucket. But, when a large group of chicks went out all at once, Charon is visibly surprised by the sudden onset of the tiny creatures.

If we can only tell what this dog was thinking at that moment, we bet he was torn between being charmed by the little quails and rattled at the same time because of the commotion among the cute chicks. It was charming how Charon cannot move a muscle because he did not how to act in front of the dainty hatchlings.

This only goes to show how gentle this particular canine is. He may be a huge guy, but he is undeniably a gentle and obedient doggo. Now, we can definitely say not all German Shepherds are made for fierce situations.

Some of them, like the adorable and caring Charon, can be really sweet and gentle, too.
