Dog and sheep
This is a pretty good animal story, told in today's Daily News by columnist Dennis McCarthy. On Tuesday morning, John Caruso spotted a sheep and a German shepherd running together on a Sylmar street. Concerned, he grabbed the dog and put him in the back seat of his car — and the ewe jumped in too. He dropped the animals at his grandmother's yard, where everybody noticed that the sheep followed the dog everywhere. They're now at the West Valley shelter waiting to be claimed, and staying very close together. "It was like wherever the dog was going, she was going, too," says Caruso. Not far from where they were spotted, some cattle were eyed roaming not too long ago. In the same area you can also find unpaved, dirt streets lined with gnarled olive trees left from the early 20th century groves. Like you'd expect in the second-most populous U.S. city.
