PROVO, Utah — For a brief period of time Sunday, Provo turned into a giant petting zoo thanks to an escaped sheep.
Officers from the Provo Police Department were dispatched to an area near Foothill Drive after reports of a very baa-aaaaaaaad sheep running through the neighborhood.
When Officers Knight and Mahoney arrived at the scene, they captured the animal before anyone really got bent out of... sheep about it! A local resident identified the sheep and it was returned to its proper home.
We're guessing the four-legged rascal was just out looking for some sheep thrills.
