My wife grew up with a border collie. Her grandparents kept chickens, fluffy white chickens, and to the dog they were tiny sheep. So the dog spent hours herding the chickens, kept them in a group. Of course chickens are not sheep so they would bolt as soon as there was an opening, so the poor dog couldn't rest for a second. After several hours they literally had to drag him inside so he wouldn't die of exhaustion. Crazy smart dog, allegedly he would escape their fence and go hitch hiking along the highway. They didn't know where he was escaping to until a friend told them she saw him on the road and he jumped in her car.
