This is the hilarious moment a woman was chased down by a sheep after finding it in her South Yorkshire garden.

Video footage from Thursday (April 2) even shows her brave little dog try to pick a fight with the animal.

She told Newsflare: "I took my dog out in the garden and suddenly he saw something. He started to chase it and it turned out to be a huge sheep.

"The sheep had escaped from its field nearby. I tried to lure the sheep back to its field with a bag pretending to have food, but the sheep suddenly charged at me and chased me across the length of the garden."
