This article comes across as attempt to devalue the humans who actually make airports run

It ain't that serious pal.

That said, border collies would probably make decent ground controllers given their herding instincts.

You really think border collies consider running around chasing birds and bunnies work?

As a former owner of one, you are speaking the truth. Seeing him happy chasing roadrunners here in AZ was a treat.

I remember after Brazil had those horrible fires and lost huge amounts of forest they put little doggy saddlebags on collies filled with seed and had them run around the deforested areas with the seeds falling out in a slow stream. Great dogs.

Was surprised about that as well, to be honest. Many airports utilise falconry to scare off birds, but there's a learning effect. More intelligent species (like crows) will quickly realise if a threat can reach them or not.
