The tiny ovine was found several weeks ago by police along the highway near Guelph Line, west of Milton. Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the lamb was put a in a police cruiser and taken to a local humane society but they are still looking for whoever first sheltered him.

Anyone wishing to claim the lost lamb should contact the OPP Highway Safety Division at 905-278-6131 or the Guelph Humane Society at 519-824-3091.
