A Border Collie, one of the world’s most intelligent and hardworking breeds, recently became the star of a viral video for doing the exact opposite of his job! Shared with the caption “When you lied on your resume and still get the job,” the clip captures a hilarious farm moment that has already racked up over 8.4 million views, 477,000 likes, and more than 1,500 comments across social media.
In the video, the energetic Border Collie—bred to manage and guard sheep—clings tightly to his owner’s leg in absolute fear as he spots the sheep he’s supposed to be herding. His wide-eyed expression and refusal to move closer to the flock have viewers in stitches. The irony isn’t lost on anyone: the ultimate sheepdog, scared of sheep!
Comments from amused viewers poured in, with many joking about how “we’ve all been that employee who oversold ourselves at the interview.” Others couldn’t get enough of the dog’s relatable reaction, saying it perfectly captures the feeling of being unprepared for a new job.
This lighthearted video reminds us that even the most “qualified” pets can have their funny flaws—and that’s what makes them so lovable. The Border Collie’s performance may not earn him Employee of the Month, but it has definitely earned him a place in the hearts of millions online.
