BRACKENRIDGE, Pa. (KDKA) — First responders completed an unusual rescue mission to capture a runaway sheep who hoofed it about a dozen miles from his home.
Storm the sheep became a crafty adventurer. His journey started in Plum and ended in Brackenridge, but another sheep is still on the run.
“He was a smart guy. He kept everybody on their toes for three weeks,” said Rick Borowski, the owner.
Storm is a 10-year-old sheep and the first sheep Borowski raised since birth. He said three weeks ago, dogs got into the sheep enclosure on his property in Plum and pushed Storm and another sheep named Baby out of the enclosure.
The pair was eventually spotted in Upper Burrell and then Lower Burrell.
“We get a call from the Lower Burrell police that they’re running through town,” Borowski said.
“I almost had him. I mean, he was like eating out of my hand,” he added.
Borowski said they got help from a professional and even set up traps in the Braeburn Beach area of Lower Burrell, but they only caught a deer.
