Sheep look out for people around them and put other people before them. They don’t like to see their friends suffer and will do whatever they can to prevent that, but they can tolerate great suffering themselves, which can be surprising when you consider how gentle they are.

People find these traits of Sheep to be highly endearing, though Sheep being so stubborn can be a source of frustration for people. However, their selflessness balances that out, as does their purity that makes them love simple things such as nature and animals.
