Pet the lamb that thinks it's a dog!
- 9 years ago
Watch this sheep raised by dogs jumping around like… well… a dog
You might notice something unusual about this sheep – mainly that she is bounding around like an excited dog.
That might be because this 10-month-old lamb named Pet was in fact raised by Border Collies in the Scottish Highlands.
Pet was brought inside the farmhouse last by owner Mairi McKenzie after it was feared she would not survive due to her small size.
The farm dogs took her under their wing, and now she replicates their bouncy mannerisms.
Mairi, 51, said: ‘She bonded with the dogs and they accepted her as one of them.
‘She’s still a wee bit wobbly but loves to hop, skip and jump around.’
Pet and her canine adoptive parents are so fond of each other they even sleep in the same baskets.
In fact their bond is so close that Mairi doesn’t think they will ever get rid of pet, as the rest of the dogs would be ‘gutted’.
