sheep

Police are appealing for help tracing a sheep that has gone missing from its home in Dumfries and Galloway. They are concerned that the sheep may be lost, frightened, or hurt.

It was last seen at around 9pm on Wednesday evening when it said it was popping out for some milk and a loaf of bread. Anyone who encounters the sheep should be aware that it might be a bit jumpy as it's been three days since it last took it's medication.

Local search and rescue operative Beau Peep has been called in to assist the police with their efforts. "My advice in these situations is simple, clear and effective" said Beau. "Ignore them, leave them alone, and they will come home soon enough."
