Hay loading machine GIF.
I was reminded of this GIF after a recent disturbing but thought-provoking Tool Talk post about an International Harvester mine planter.
Similar motion here from another tractor-towed device, but completely different purpose.

And when this good boy is done spreading hay for the day, he drives himself home:

I can get my 2 blue healers to help put the chickens back in their coop but so far they can't drive LOL
Beaut! Gotta love a happy Aussie working dog....

I like how the person is just standing there next to the nice quad with the snow blade. "You should've told me you could shovel snow before I spent $15K!"

that dog is earning his kibbles.
GSD's are the greatest.
Set that boy a place for dinner and feed him a steak!

That is just too cute
Dog's...whenever I need a pal, two come a runnin'. All the things they do it's said is done for us. Maybe. I think watching us gives them an urge to participate too. Most remarkable thing is, they've been at our side for eons...
I've tended horses, aviaries, cattle, waterfowl, fish, snake, opossum, a ferret, lab rats, even a gopher. Only the horse approaches the intuition understanding of hand signals and voice instructions, but still not naturally as a dog.
Man's Best Friend hardly describes it.
An Australian Kelpie surfs over livestock.

If you get the chance, spend a few afternoon hours at a sheep dog trial. 'em are some smart pooches.
they are good workers to boot (not litterally). that is the fastest one I've seen. My dad used to train them for shooting deer & scrub turkeys (protected).

The first thing I thought of when I saw this dog was this songQuote:

Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby's side
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Long distance call I got today
She sounded lonely so I'm on my way
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Gotta get me home, to keep her satisfied
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Oh, won't somebody stop and help a guy?
Hitchin' a ride, hitchin' a ride
Been away too long from my baby's side
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin' a ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
What better way to look out over the flock when you're just a short dog?
