Did You Lose a Sheep in Christmas Sweater? Nebraska Has It
Hey, drunk people: Did you decorate a sheep for Christmas this weekend? Did you then lose that sheep? If so, please report your drunken self to the Nebraska Humane Society and pick up your Christmas sheep.
The NHS has been holding onto the ram since Sunday, when animal control found the creature on the streets of Omaha dressed in the festive vest seen above.
According to a Humane Society spokesperson, "the sheep has a thick coat, so it likely didn't need the sweater for warmth." Nonetheless, they seem to have left the woolen wanderer in his holiday garb.
So far, authorities have been unable to locate its owner or "learn the animal's name," but, after careful inspection, officials deduced that the sweater "appears to have been designed for a dog."
UPDATE: Omaha's WOWT reports the sheep—apparently named Gage—has been reunited with his owner. If you lost a sheep this weekend this was not it.
Says owner Margaret: "I'm glad he wasn't eaten. People eat these things this time of year."
