In their desperation, the flock shunned a "beware of dog" sign to seek refuge in a nearby garden

Dozens of startled sheep flocked into a garden after they were chased out of their field by a dog off its lead.

Police were called to a house in Gorefield, Cambridgeshire, after being alerted to the frightened flock at about 11:50 GMT on Tuesday.

They were found hiding in the garden, ignoring a "beware of dog" sign on its gate.

No sheep were injured, but Cambridgeshire Police said "words of advice" were given to the dog owner.
