Little Bo-Peep may have lost her sheep — but a South Carolina police officer was there to help round it up.

Patrolman First Class D. Ghi of the Summerville Police Department helped corral a sheep that was wandering around in the Scott’s Mill subdivision last week, the police department said in a Facebook post.

The officer posed for a picture with the once-liberated lamb in the residential area.

“Lucky for Little Bo Peep, her lost sheep was found and turned over to Animal Control,” the post reads. 

In dash-cam video, Ghi says he is taking the sheep to “greener pastures,” reports Circa. 

It’s not the first time Summerville officers have had to round up a bleating perpetrator. In October, officers corralled a goat at a Summerville Zaxby’s, where the animal had chased an employee.
