- Storm, a 10-year-old sheep, escaped from his enclosure in Plum after dogs got in.

- The rescue operation was a success, but Baby, Storm's companion, is still unaccounted for.
In Brackenridge, Pennsylvania, first responders undertook a unique rescue operation to capture a runaway sheep named Storm, who had traveled approximately 12 miles from his home in Plum. The incident began when dogs breached the sheep enclosure, causing Storm and another sheep, Baby, to escape. After being spotted near Route 28, Storm's frantic search for Baby led him to cover a vast area, possibly even swimming across the Allegheny River. Despite efforts to trap the sheep, only a deer was caught initially. The rescue operation involved collaboration among local fire departments, police, public works, and community members. Ultimately, Storm was successfully returned to his owner, Borowski, and is now safe with his sheep family at a nearby farm. However, Baby remains missing, with sightings suggesting she may still be in the Braeburn area of Lower Burrell, prompting ongoing search efforts.
