Speed sheep outruns pigs

Faster than a speeding police dog. Able to leap police cars in a single bound. It’s super sheep! A truant ruminant in the German village of Guester, wearing nothing but a thick woolly coat, has defied round-up attempts by the local law.

The sheep ran at over 30mph through town streets, outrunning pursuing police cars. It also waylaid police dogs, giving them a well-placed head butt. Eventually the wild woolly maggot was apprehended in a field when it stopped to eat some grass.

Police are now looking for the sheep’s owner.
