I must get in on this as I believe this analogy is just what some folks need to get them to understand why we feel the need to be armed. First off, a sheepdog is a dog that lives with the sheep every day in the field. He is there in the event a predator shows up. He will defend the sheep because that is his calling. A "Stock Dog" is a dog that lives near the ranchers house and only works when asked to. This dog is used for controlling sheep, moving them from pasture to pasture. The analogy also states the sheepdog is a warrior. This tells me the sheepdog is always alert and ready to perform when needed. No one tells the sheepdog when to go to work. He responds to the actions of the wolf or predator.
I like the analogy. Once we understand the reasons for analogies, we understand their simplicity. I can guarantee you this this that either dog will eat a ham sandwich.
