Niagara Falls police were transporting a sheep to the Lakeview Animal Sanctuary in Lockport after it was found wandering the city on Wednesday.
At 1:15 p.m. officers were called about a sheep in a field in the 600 block of Seventh Street. Officers arrived but did not see the sheep — but they could hear it.
The sheep was eventually found in a resident’s backyard and was eventually captured by the Niagara Falls Police Department’s animal control officer.
It was unclear Wednesday where the sheep came from. Investigation into the ownership of the sheep is currently ongoing.
