The dog (wolf) knows the character of the sheep. I grew up around sheep, they are stupid. They follow anyone who feeds them. If they are frightened, they run until they die to avoid the predator.
They have no defenses except to run, and that running will kill them. The sheep are among the most frightened and helpless creatures, they don't even bite. I believe this is why God calls us sheep, very few people think and evaluate, they just go whichever way they feel safest without thinking of the consequences.
Isaiah 53:6 "6 We, all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way."
Peter 2:25
"For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."
Sheep cannot survive without a shepherd or protector.
Jeremiah 50:6
"My people are lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray, causing them to roam the mountains. They have wandered from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place."
