Baa, baa, woof? Barking sheep thinks he’s a dog

A six-month-old sheep named Jack is becoming a bit of an online celebrity. Rescued by a farmer shortly after birth, he was raised alongside a springer spaniel.

Jack thinks he's a dog.

Jack tries to herd other sheep. He barks. He fetches sticks. He jumps on his hind legs. He even dons a collar and lead when going for walks with his nine-year-old canine friend Jesse and their owner at Adderley Wharf Farm in Shopshire, England.

"He makes this strange half baa, half woof noise which everyone finds hilarious," said owner Alison Sinstadt.

"Jack doesn't even recognize sheep as his own kind as he tries to herd them up when he's in a field with them."

When Jack was born, his tiny size worried his owner. So Sinstadt brought the lamb to the house.

"Jack was born one of three lambs, which is quite rare," she told The Daily Mail.

"He was very small and we decided to bring him in the house and put the hair dryer on him and forced him to drink milk. It ended up that he took to the dog and they now sleep together in a dog basket in the porch."

Sinstadt aims to reintegrate Jack into the flock, but says he will always remain as a pet and won't meet the dinner plate fates of his peers.
