On the lamb
Two Gold Coast police officers had an unusual rescue that they could not be sheepish about.
Mudgeeraba Police Senior Constable Ben Lamb (yes Lamb) and his partner First Year Constable Sophie Paget were responding to a report of two sheep being attacked by a dog at Mudgeeraba Creek Road last week.
On arrival they located one sheep which had been fatally injured while the other sheep had fled into a nearby river.
The sheep were pets to a local Mudgeeraba family and their owner was trying to rescue her sheep from the river.
The sheep had been stuck in the mud and had become very matted and was very distressed.
Constable Paget went into the creek to assist the owner with bringing the sheep back to the bank.
“This is probably one of those unusual jobs you get called to but it was fantastic to be able to assist the owner with the safe return of her sheep
“After losing one of her treasured pets we were able to assist her with saving the second sheep which brings a lot of satisfaction”, said Constable Paget.
