Headline : Lost Lamb Follows Jogger Back Home
Caption : Little Bo Peep may have lost her sheep but a kind-hearted Scotsman was on hand to return one this week.

David Shanks, 30, was out for a jog in Aberdeenshire on Tuesday (17 April) when he found himself being followed by a black lamb.

Clearly escaped from its flock, the wee lamb only wanted to be guided home.

David explains: "I was running near Fettercairn in Aberdeenshire when I spotted what I initially thought was a dog at the end of the road.

"When I got closer, the small black lamb trotted towards me bleating. It had clearly escaped from its field and the flock had been taken in.

"The little lamb followed me, chatting away for some time so I decided to see if he would follow me back to the nearest farm where I’d seen a flock of black sheep on the road earlier.

"Luckily, with a little coaxing the lamb trotted alongside me as I ran to the farmhouse where I was able to flag down a tractor.

"He then ran towards the farmer, who recognising his lost sheep scooped him up and returned him to his herd."
