## Key points

- An Ohio teenager and her horse caught a sheep after 45 days on the run.
- Volunteers, deputies and drones helped search for the animal.
- The sheep may become a permanent resident at a sanctuary.

## Summary

Fourteen-year-old Reagan Crumpler and her horse Catalena captured a sheep that had been roaming Wadsworth, Ohio, for 45 days. Their success ended a town-wide effort to bring the animal to safety, involving volunteers, the sheriff’s department and drones.

The American Blackbelly sheep had repeatedly evaded capture, despite several sightings. It is now at Whispering Acres Farm Animal Sanctuary for a 72-hour hold and has been named Gerri Reagan after the teenager; if no owner comes forward, it will stay at the farm.
