Meet Pet: the lamb who thinks she's a collie

Wagging her tail, going for walks and following her owner around, Pet is every inch a good dog.

Except for the fact she's actually a sheep.

Pet was adopted by a family of border collies in Scotland, and has developed some very canine characteristics.

She was brought into the croft farm house in Ullapool, Ross-shire, in April last year by owner Mairi Mackenzie as she was weak and was struggling to survive.

But, under the care of the croft farm household, she began to flourish - and quickly bonded with the family's sheep dogs.

She even began sleeping in a dog basket, and followed the dogs when they went on their daily walks.

Now 10 months old, she is firmly attached and cries for the dogs - particularly her 'mother', Dice - when she is not around them.

She has now developed a very distinctive gallop as she tries to keep up with her adopted family.

The family, who run a bed and breakfast at the farm, say the unusual friendship means they will probably be keeping Pet with them for good.
