"Sheep goes for a ride in a cruiser," captioned the Old Town Police Department on Facebook before narrating how the mischievous animal wandered off, away from its own herd.

"This morning we received a call of a sheep that wandered onto someone`s property. Sergeant Bailey and Deputy Chief Miller responded and were able to corral the sheep and direct him into the back seat of our police cruiser. DC Miller lives on a farm and has extensive experience handling farm animals. After a brief stroll around the neighbourhood, they were able to locate the sheep`s home and return him to his owner," read the full caption.

The adorable video showed a sheep sitting on a police cruiser as it peeked its head out through a partition before it started bleating, while the police officers were heard laughing in the background.
