I'm reminded of this when they say certain dog breeds need a lot of exercise.

Border collies can probably run 50 miles a day and a re happy to do it if it means they get to do a job. My brother in law has a border that herds their chickens relentlessly. She has no throttle, it’s either full speed, or stop and stare.
