Phil and Daphne Lakin of Strawberry Plains said the ewe got loose Sept. 9 while participating in a sheepdog demonstration during the annual Middle Tennessee Highland Games and Celtic Festival at Percy Warner Park in Bellevue.

"I am so happy for all the residents of Bellevue, they honestly put their hearts and their souls into the three-week search ordeal. Hats off to Bellevue," Phil Lakin told the Nashville Tennessean. "More than I can put into words, so grateful for the outcome." Metro Parks and Recreation representative Jackie Jones said Belle-Ewe was found "leisurely walking down one of the closed roads" in Percy Warner Park. "The maintenance crew was able to wrangle the ewe into a truck and take her immediately to one of the barns for safety," Jones said. Lakins said he is now planning to make an appearance with Belle-Ewe at the Bellevue Historic Day Red Caboose Playground Oct.12.
