If you're interested in dogs and frequently watch dog videos, you'll find that many dogs are indeed very intelligent, and their behavior can even exceed your expectations. Of course, this goes without saying for highly intelligent dogs; with proper training, they can truly amaze you.

We often hear netizens say that some dogs have become sentient beings, which is probably why people call them "dog stars." Dogs are considered to have a very high level of intelligence among pets.

Everyone is familiar with Border Collies; we usually just call them Border Collies. Border Collies have long been considered by netizens to be the most intelligent dog breed, and to be so widely recognized, they must have some serious skills.

A man shared an interesting story: while walking his dog, he encountered a Border Collie that was gesturing for help from netizens in the fenced yard.

The Border Collie saw a ball on the roadside and barked at the man. Dog owners should know what this means: the Border Collie wanted the man to fetch the ball for it.

Since it was just a small favor, the netizen picked up the toy ball and threw it into the yard. The Border Collie quickly ran over and caught the ball, but then it ran back to the roadside.

The netizen was standing by the roadside watching it, thinking it was running over to express its gratitude, but unexpectedly the Border Collie was holding the ball in its mouth and then throwing it out again.

What was it trying to do? It had just retrieved the ball and thrown it in, and now it had thrown it out of the fence onto the roadside. The man suddenly realized what the Border Collie was up to; he'd been tricked by this clever little thing.

The man couldn't help but laugh. He was a dog owner himself, yet he had been fooled by this thing. He was stunned when he saw it throw the ball out. He thought it didn't want it anymore and wanted to give it to the dog he was holding on its leash.

It's obvious the Border Collie just wants a passerby to play ball with it for a while. Maybe its owner isn't home and it's just getting bored sitting in the yard by itself!

The man threw the toy ball back into the yard a second time, and the Border Collie quickly retrieved it, then immediately climbed onto the fence and threw the ball out again. Seeing its behavior, netizens were helpless, wondering if the dog had become attached to the man.

Netizen comment: If you just take the ball away, will the Border Collie jump out and chase after it?
