How Single Dogs Can Herd Giant Groups of Sheep

Would it surprise you to know that a sheep dog is better at math than you are? Herding requires the type of thinking that's often used in engineering. Sheepdogs are uniquely great herders because they naturally think algorithmically. Sheepdogs know that sheep behave according to the selfish herd principle, which means when there's a perceived threat, an individual seeks cover by pushing deep into the herd. This acts as a centripetal force pulling the rest of the herd inward on itself.
