UK - When the Brayley family adopted a sheep, they never thought it would behave more like a dog than a barnyard animal!

But that was exactly the case with Moosie, and the cute animal soon had everyone wrapped around its finger with its puppy-like behavior.

Numerous Instagram videos showed the sheep behaving like a lap dog.

He can be seen jumping onto the sofa for cuddles, standing dutifully next to the family dog, waiting patiently for his food, and even being carried around the property by his owner.

Dogs Dog's sweet reaction to rainy day is nothing short of magical: "Some smiles are worth the weather"

"We thought he might get a bit more 'sheep' as he got older… apparently not," they laughed in one post.

"Moosie boy you bring us so much joy and I hope we can still carry you for cuddles when you’re even bigger," the family added.

For their part, commenters were in shock over the adorable string of posts.

"How is that not a dog?!" exclaimed one user while a second insisted, "That’s not a sheep that’s a bayyyybeeeee."

"If not good boy, why good boy shaped?" asked another.

One commenter hilariously suggested taking Moose the so-called "sheep dog" to a groomer and "wait[ing] to see how long it took for them to figure out it's a sheep in there."
