“Did You Know?”: 50 Of The Most Interesting Facts, Presented By Dougie Sharpe (New Facts) At 2:30 in the morning, sheep farmer John Wierwille, awoke to hear a commotion on his property. He went outside to see his sheep backed into a corner of the fence surrounded by 11 coyotes and his guard dogs, Casper and Daisy standing between them. 

Casper charged at the coyotes, most likely to get their attention off Daisy, who was then pregnant with 8 puppies. The fight resulted in many of the coyotes dead and a missing Casper. A few days later, Casper returned home with his bruised and beaten. John took Casper to the vet and, after the dog was nice and healthy again, they returned home. Now he is an inside dog.

We've already featured Dougie Sharp on Bored Panda and spoke with him twice before. The Fact Guy started his career on Instagram in the summer of 2021 and went on TikTok in October 2021. By October 2022, he was posting daily videos with fun facts on TikTok, but by April 2023 he was mostly focusing on content for YouTube.

Doug told Bored Panda that he made these kinds of videos "on and off" from 2018, but mostly only for family and friends. "I posted a couple on Instagram in the summer of 2021 and they had pretty good views and I was like ‘Oh cool, maybe I should make more of these'," he told us in April 2023.

Dougie also previously shared with Bored Panda that ideas for his videos come from simple curiosity. "I wouldn't be able to go through the rest of my day if I had a question sitting in the back of my head. If I have a question or someone near me has a question, I NEED TO KNOW THE ANSWER, I'll become obsessed with the question if I don't learn the answer. And sometimes that leads me down deep rabbit holes," Doug admitted.
