Leander, Texas – A small group of sheep was found near Tarvin Elementary School in Leander, prompting a lighthearted post from the Leander Police Department.

The animals were safely taken in by Leander Animal Services as the search began for their owner.

Later, the police confirmed that the sheep had been returned to their rightful owner. He arrived and quickly herded them back home.
