Awww....Ewe gotta see this one

Have you heard the one about the sheep and the dog who became best friends? And the dog isn't even a sheepdog!

Dennis McCarthy writes about the sweet story in today's Los Angeles Daily News,

It seems that John Caruso had just dropped his son off at school Tuesday morning when he spots a dog and sheep starting to cross the street at San Fernando Mission and Hayvenhurst, heading straight for a freeway off-ramp.

"'I couldn't believe it,' Caruso told the writer. "'People were blowing their horns, trying to stop them from walking up the off-ramp and onto the freeway.'

"So Caruso jumped out of his car and collared the German shepherd (mix) and put him in the back seat of his car. He didn't even have to go back to get the sheep -- she jumped in the car right after the dog.

"'It was like wherever the dog was going, she was going, too,' Caruso said."

Thus the Daily News headline: "Whither ewe go, I will go...."

Needless to say, Caruso was a bit befuddled, now carting around a strange dog and sheep in his car while he was heading off for work at his business, Caruso's Pizza in Sylmar.

So he dropped them off in the yard at his grandmother's house in Granada Hills where the odd duo became a quick hit with the neighborhood kids.

The next day, Caruso delivered the pair to the West Valley Animal Shelter at 20655 Plummer St. in Chatsworth (1-888-452-7381). 

So if someone in the San Fernando Valley is missing a dog and a sheep, you know where to pick them up.
