The dog that destroyed the house

The title should read, "The dog that destroyed part of the living room, a section of the kitchen and dug up part of the backyard, in less than 3 hours," but the title would have been too long.

Yes it happened, to my neighbor a few days ago. He is single and has a full time job. Normally his high energy border collie is dropped at his sister's house for the day while he works. The dog plays with her dog and has several acres to roam around on. A few days ago his sister told him that her dog had to into the vet's and they would be gone most of the morning. He thought that would be fine, he would just leave his dog in the house for a few hours while he did a half a day at work.

When he got home at lunch time he found the following:

• His Ethan Allen couch was destroyed
• His box of Padron cigars was shredded all over the place (I told him he should have quit smoking) 
• Several plants had been either knocked over or mashed into the carpet
• The refrigerator door was open but thankfully nothing disturbed
• The window above the kitchen sink had scratches on it like the dog had tried to get out
• 3 dishes in the sink were broken
• The backdoor was opened (he is at a loss as to how the dog did that one) and the screen door closed but now there was a hole in it where the dog got out into the backyard
• There were several dug holes in the backyard

He was astounded as to why his dog did that and he thinks he found out. His backyard borders a field that normally grows hay. That morning the farmer put a small herd of beef cattle in the field and the mooing might have excited the dog into wanting out.....out to the field of cows.

I only wish he had gotten photos or video of the result of his dog's destruction, I would have loved to see what the dog did.
