Fife Dog Won’t Let Postman Leave Without Playing Football

Fife Dog Won’t Let Postman Leave Without Playing Football

Some dogs hate the postman with a passion, but not Ollie the border collie. Ollie loves playing football so much, he won’t let postman Davie Barbour pass his house without engaging him in a quick match.

Ollie’s got skills

And Ollie’s pretty good at it, too! He dribbles, passes, and stops the ball just like the pros. Davie told the Daily Mail he has to play with Ollie every day, even if Ollie’s family doesn’t have any letters for delivery.

And he’s already been scouted: Waterloo AFC said, “Hi Amy, we would definitely be interested in having your dog down for a trial with us. Seems to have a better touch and pass accuracy than our current Right Back. Would fit perfectly into our team.”

We think Ollie is a very good boy—and what a great friend he has in postman Davie.
