Watch | 1300 sheep spotted on Spain roads after a great escape

About 1,300 sheep made a great escape in Spain on June 7, after their shepherd fell asleep while tending them.

The Huesca Police told Reuters that they received a call from a resident in the early hours of June 7 stating they had seen hundreds of sheep walking around on the Avenue Martinez de Velasco in the city.

The police then had to track down the owner and herd the sheep back to their original field.

News website '20 minutos' reported that it took almost three hours for the sheep to be returned to their home.
