Barking Drone

Farmers at the pub…

.

Trev: Hey Joe, that a drone I saw you playing with in the paddock the other day?

.

Merv: Yup. Use it to muster the sheep.

.

Trev: Does it work?

.

Merv: Sure, it goes up and hovers over the flock and barks and chases them to the next paddock.

.

Trev: It, uh, barks?

.

Merv: Yeah. I recorded one of the sheepdogs barking, and the drone broadcasts the bark, so now the sheep think the dog flies in the sky.

.

Trev: Well, I’ll be darned.

Voice-over

Drones can assist in farm-work. Many are tools, not just toys. They can work with sheepdogs, or even replace them sometimes. Takes a bit of training the farmer, and the sheep. Oh, and the dog, so it doesn’t chase the drone.
