Sheep thinks she’s a dog
Published: June 5, 2006
A Welsh farmer says his pet sheep thinks she’s a sheepdog.
Emlyn Roberts saved Rolo from death as a lamb and has since raised her at home with his sheepdogs.
Rolo enjoys being taken for a walk on the lead and watching TV with her master, reports the North Wales Daily Post.
And she has even started herding with her sheepdog mates, although so far she’s only been let loose on ducks.
Emlyn, of Pentir, near Bangor, said: “She is growing up exactly like a dog. You can tell she thinks of herself as a dog. You could have some real fun with her at Crufts.
“She can jump through hoops and slide down a ramp just like the dogs. She’s a very intelligent sheep - not like any other sheep at all.
“She sometimes comes into the house and sits there watching TV with us. She eats absolutely anything you put in front of her. What she really likes is nuts.
“But anything you put down for the dogs, she’ll help herself. She’s more than happy to eat dog food.”
