I came across this sheep stuck in a bog - the poor thing couldn't move so I did my good deed for the day and hauled it out. It is amazing how heavy sheep are when laden with mud and water and I think it must have been there for quite a while as it couldn't walk for a good 10 minutes or so. You can imagine what Casper and Dougal thought of me fraternising with the 'enemy'!
