Paul Brennan, of Carlow Ireland, developed an innovated way to corral his sheep after his sheepdog Shep injured his leg -- a drone.

Brothers Declan and Paul Brennan dubbed the machine Shep the Drone — World's First Drone Sheepdog. The Daily News mused, "Humans are not the only ones being replaced by robots. Herding dogs should also fear for their future employment."


"The man behind the drone is Declan Brennan, an innovative farmer who has, with the help of his brother Paul, started to redefine life on the farm using the latest technology. After retiring the farm’s sheepdog, Declan and Paul decided to enlist Shep the Drone to look after their livestock," reported the Irish Examiner.

“I’m a farmer’s son and I’m always out in the fields. It’s sort of a hobby for me but I’ve a Facebook page with 5,000 followers. People seem to like what I’ve been putting up so I might as well keep doing it,” Paul Brennan told the Irish Examiner. “A lot of people have never seen this kind of thing before but I love it. You get to see things from a different perspective and it’s actually really interesting.”

The following video illustrated how Shep the drone herds approximately 120 sheep across a field and through a gate in only minutes:

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
