The sheep with a bellyful of pig’s ears.Click on image to zoom in

How do you demonstrate to dog owners that they should keep their pets on a short lead when walking in the countryside because little Fido finds sheep irresistible?

You produce an actual size poster of a Scottish Blackface which has a hidden compartment in it’s belly stuffed with delicious doggy treats like liver, pigs ears and er, hotdogs.
All you have to do next is stand back and watch as the pack (dragging their owners behind them) goes straight for the 2 dimensional livestock. Perfectly demonstrating to the owner that, as the accompanying headline explains:
“ Your dog is as easily attracted to the real thing”.

The work was launched in a photo call in Hollyrood Park with the Environment Minister Michael Russell and 17 dogs. Ironically the mightysmall representative was none other than Tamsin Ansdell famed for her fear of canines. This was heightened before the launch with the rumour that one of the beasts booked for the photocall was a gigantic Newfoundland.

We’re happy to report that both Tamsin and the sheep survived the experience though the sheep took a bit of a mauling.
