This is why I think dog ownership in cities is cruel and highly unethical. Imagine all the collies that wait around contained in a house for 9-10 hours a day completely alone waiting for an owner to come home just for a lazy stroll around the block, everyday if they're lucky, eating the same kibble made from slaughter house floor sweepings slowly giving them cancers and lumps.
Even if you really love them and take care of them ten times better than what I just described it's still weird imprisonment and servitude of a sentient being for anthropomorphized affection we bred into them.
We had a neighbourhood Collie in our crescent. All the kids loved playing with him, he just loved fetch. But whenever he saw a car from afar, he ushered the smaller kids off the road! What a smart fella!
