According to CANIDAE, Border collies can be a difficult dog to own: they require a lot of exercise, and their intelligence and natural curiosity mean theyโ€™re always busy doing something, ultimately โ€œkeeping their owners on their toes.โ€

The thing is, Border collies are extremely intelligent animals, sitting โ€œat the top of the list of most intelligent dog breedsโ€, with some saying they may even be โ€œthe smartest dog in the worldโ€, reports CANIDAE.

And one Border collie named Hali is an amazing example of that legendary Border collie intelligence!

In a clip, which according to Yahoo, originated on Reddit before being uploaded to YouTube, we see a dog named Hali heading to the store with his ownerโ€” but this is no ordinary shopping trip.

As you will soon see, Hali is definitely calling the shots!

The store is a Canadian Tire Superstore.

While most people frequent this store for items like tools, BBQs, and tires, Hali is here for something bigger and better: a few packs of delicious dog treatsโ€” and heโ€™s going to pick them out himself!

After entering the store, the scene cuts to the treat aisle, where Haliโ€™s owner has placed a red basket for him to put his goodsโ€” and he knows exactly what he wants!

You see the pup browsing the aisles until he finds the desired treats, grabbing them in his mouth and dropping โ€™em into the shopping basket.

โ€œYup, put it in the basket! Good boy!โ€ Haliโ€™s owner says encouragingly.

After picking out a few treats (with jerky treats and Blue Dog Bakery brand Perfect Trainers being his favorites), Hali makes his way to the cash register to pay for his yummy selections!

The extremely well-trained pup passes his treats over the counter to the cashier, standing on his back legs in a hilariously human fashion.

When itโ€™s time to pay, he even passes the money!

Before leaving, Hali accepts a treat from the pleasant cashier, and with that, the Collie merrily takes his bags of treats and leaves the storeโ€” heading home to eat, I am sure!
