Lemmings, making the myth the reality

So we all know that Lemmings are known for following blindly to their death but that is not the reality.

I would like to create the myth in the real world, or rather I would like to know how such a creature could be created via evolution.

• Creature must be a vertebrate
• Creature must be at least as large as the average squirrel
• Creature must follow a leader creature (specialized type)
• Creature must follow without fear of death (if told to it will in fact run off a cliff)

How would a situation like this come about via evolution and real world science?
