20 Times Nature Rewarded Border Collies With Beauty and a Pinch of Tenderness

Border collie dogs are unique in nature. Besides being beautiful, they’re considered to be one of the most intelligent breeds of domestic dogs. This has led to thousands of people falling in love with their ingenuity and friendliness, and those who are lucky enough to have one at home don’t hesitate to post their pictures online to let the world know how cool it is to have one around.
And because we at Bright Side totally fell in love when we saw pictures of these border collies online, we thought we’d make a compilation featuring the funniest and cutest anecdotes people shared on the Internet.
1. “My border collie puppy likes to jump up and sit on random things. This is my favorite so far.”
2. “Surprised my girlfriend with a border collie. I think they’re both happy.”
