The sheep that thinks it's a dog

It's a dog's life for Rolo the sheep - and she's loving every minute of it.

Ever since North Wales farmer Emlyn Roberts saved her from death as a lamb, he has raised the Welsh cross at home with his sheepdogs.

And she's developed some distinctly doggy habits. Named Rolo - because of her liking for the chocolate-coated caramel sweets - she enjoys being being taken for a walk on the lead and watching TV with her master.

In a twist on the popular film Babe, she has even started herding with her sheepdog friends, although so far she's only been let loose on ducks.
