I wonder if there's an English idiom for this phrase. I thought of "pack follower", but there's only one example online and I'm not sure that it falls under "idiomatic usage":
"When the human is a pack follower and not the pack leader problems develop. The dog ignores the human, becomes possessive, pulls on the lead, runs away, demands attention, may try and bite anyone who comes near a certain family member..." https://mariesdoggydaycare.co.uk/services/
Collins Dictionary presents a couple of non-idiomatic translations: sheep, follower.

| Obrigado, Cláudio. "Sheeple" é uma boa tradução para "povo-gado". https://masterportuguesetranslator.com/glossaries/idioms-and-more/?from=0&page_number=&name-directory-search-value=sheeple |
| agree |
Barbara Cochran, MFA
: I like "sheeple", too, because it combines the animal with the human, like "herd creature" does.

I just found an expression that I believe fits in nicely.
“Oh yes, my wife, she always goes with the flow. She’s a total go-with-the-flow-kind of person” (emphasis added). https://masterportuguesetranslator.com/glossaries/idioms-and...
Thank you all. I'm closing without grading.
