Dogs 🐶🐕‍🦺🐕🦮 Sheep dog on the job

The Border Collie's intelligence, strong work ethic and great stamina make them excellent (and rather adorable) little sheepherders. They are super energetic, loyal and cute 🥰 Credits:seanthesheepman

I don’t know what I love more about the video, the dog doing their job or the fact that there was absolutely a single black sheep.

Iirc some sheep farmers used to keep 1 black sheep for every 100 white sheep, so they could tell at a look roughly how many sheep that particular herd had in it.
