In the vast landscapes of Victoria, Australia, a tale of hope and rescue unfolded. Cedric, a young and frightened sheep, found himself lost and running through a local dog park. Edgar’s Mission, a renowned animal sanctuary, got wind of Cedric’s plight. They surmised he might have fled from a slaughterhouse nearby. Determined to offer him refuge, the team embarked on a mission to rescue him. However, Cedric’s nimble feet and clever evasive tactics made the task challenging.

Pam Ahern, the heart and soul behind Edgar’s Mission, remarked, “He put up a very good fight not to be caught,”

The game of hide-and-seek took a turn when a vigilant dog’s bark directed the rescuers to tall grass, revealing Cedric’s hideout.

“He was very frightened when he first came back,” Ahern said in the press release. “But within days, we can see that he is completely transformed.”

Cedric’s story became even sweeter with the arrival of Pride, another sheep at the sanctuary. Their bond was instant and deep, making them inseparable companions. Together, they bask in the love and safety of their new haven. Ahern joyfully shared, “Cedric draws strength from Pride. Their friendship is a testament to the healing power of companionship.”

@edgarsmission Cedric, a young sheep who was likely facing backyard slaughter, fled for days in a off-leash dog park. 🐑 We heard of his plight and embarked on a rescue mission. It was challenging, as Cedric was wary of humans. After running across many steep hills, a dog (who was temporarily hard of hearing) helped us bring him to saftey. 🐕 Finally safe, Cedric is now thriving at the sanctuary, embracing companionship, kindness, and love. ❤️ #animalrescue #farmsanctuary #rescueanimals #friendsnotfood ♬ Epic Music(863502) – Draganov89
