shepherd
Tends the flock
A shepherd tends sheep, guiding them to pasture and protecting them from predators.
The role extends metaphorically to anyone who guides or watches over others—ministers are shepherds of their congregations, and the word appears throughout religious texts for spiritual guardians.
As a verb, to shepherd is to guide or usher: She shepherded the children through the museum.
German Shepherd is a breed of dog originally used for herding.
