While it’s a clever idea, this guy doesn’t seem too happy about his job being under threat.
Drone replaces sheepdog
to make a drone with floppy ears,
but would it wag a tail and bark a ruff
when its owner appears?
They can give a robot a name
They can give a robot a name
and call it "Shep",
but would it play and roll in a game
or the morning newspaper shlep?
With all mankind feeling so threatened and alone,
they may now have to invent a therapy clone.

Farmers have nearly always relied on the skills of wise old sheepdogs when it comes to rounding up their flock.
But it seems that the role of a sheepdog could now be facing the unlikeliest of threats – a drone.
That’s if this video is anything to go by, which shows what happens when a drone is flown near a flock of sheep.

In the video, the drone essentially becomes a flying sheepdog as it manages to herd a flock of sheep through a gate and into a neighbouring field.
The drone, which has been nicknamed ‘Shep’, captured the footage on a farm in Carlow, South-East Ireland.
