Sheep rescued after falling in river
A clumsy sheep had to be rescued by firefighters after stumbling into the River Severn.
The animal got into trouble when it slipped down the river bank and into the water in Alveley, near Bridgnorth.
Three appliances from fire stations in Cleobury Mortimer, Bridgnorth and Shrewsbury attended.
They used special rescue rope to drag the sheep out of the river yesterday at about 11.40am.
A spokeswoman for Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said: "Firefighters managed to get him out.
"He seemed quite exhausted by the ordeal. A vet was called but he was up on his feet before they arrived."
Firefighters at Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service have received specialist training in rescuing animals recently.
