The overloaded sheep, called Baarack, was found “wandering in the Victorian woods” by a property maintenance man who took her to Edgar’s mission in Lancefield, Victoria, in early February, the shelter said.
In the video filmed by the Edgar’s Mission team on February 5, Baarack struggles to balance under the weight of his tangled and dirty fleece.
“This is a good place to be, old fellow,” a man is heard saying to the sheep.
Edgar’s mission told Storyful that Baarack was “doing great” and getting used to life at the shelter.
He had more than 35 pounds of wool with him, according to CNN.
“We really believe that he understands that what we did for him made his life easier and made it for the better,” they said. “For now, he is sitting with other sheep rescued in the same fate.”
Before and after Baarack photos went viral online.
In case you don’t know, sheep need humans to trim the wool. If not controlled, it is harmful to health.
