The runner stopped to let her know what was going on, as Scholz describes in the video’s comments. The sheep all waited quietly by, waiting for their new leader’s instructions while the runner related the tale of her unexpected entourage.

The runner told Scholz that she thought the sheep were lost and that they had opted to follow her because they had seen her running by. It seems the flock chose her when they needed a leader!

The runner informed her that she intended to lead the sheep back to the pastures where they had initially started to follow her.

The sheep all started racing after the woman as soon as she started to move again. On Instagram, Schotz mockingly humorously said, ‘She’s a shepherdess now.’

Do you suppose they’re still pursuing her, Scholtz enquired.
