Border Collie Was Supposed to Herd This Cow, Instead He Fell in Love With Her
There’s a lot we admire about Border Collies. Besides being loyal companions, they are strikingly gorgeous, very intelligent, easy to train, and are among the best herding dogs you could ask for. Recently, we discovered something else that makes Border Collies extra amazing: some have a PhD in forming unusual friendships with animals of a different species. Sarge is one of them.

Sarge resides in the countryside with his family. He’s an exceptional herding dog whose initial job description included keeping tabs on the family cow, Daisy. But that isn’t the case anymore because somewhere along the way, this beautiful Border Collie decided that herding Daisy wasn’t a cool work concept anymore. So, he settled for a full-blown friendship with Daisy.
A heart-melting video capturing their unexpected bond has gone viral on TikTok, and we have no doubts it’ll make your day.
Besties Above Everything
Sarge no longer sees Daisy as a cow to herd. These two have become inseparable besties, so much so that they spend almost all their time hanging out. The TikTok video, posted by Sarge’s mom @dakotafunnyfarm, captures Sarge & Daisy taking naps on the field side by side, licking each other affectionately, and sitting close together as they watch the world go by.
Their friendship isn’t the loud kind; no endless barking or mooing to express what they feel for one another. It’s more of just basking in each other’s quiet presence, endless licking, and soulful glances. From the video, you can tell that Sarge & Daisy aren’t simply tolerating each other’s company. They genuinely love hanging out.
Whenever Daisy wanders off into the open field, Sarge doesn’t run frantically to round her up as a herding dog would. Instead, he leisurely follows Daisy to where she is before joining her for some uninterrupted bonding time away from their mom. Sarge doesn’t seem to care that he’s broken every professional herding rule in the canine world. And going by the look of contentment on his face when he’s huddled against Daisy’s big body, it’s obvious that choosing friendship over work is the best decision he’s ever made.
Sure, Sarge and Daisy the Cow may have nothing in common as far as species is concerned. But it’s clear that the connection they share makes total sense to them, even if it baffles everyone else watching. Friendship goals, if you ask us!
