David Cameron has dived into a swamp on his way home to rescue a sheep.
The prime minister was travelling from Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire in the evening on March 1 when he heard bleating.
Cameron waded in waist-deep to save the ewe, reports the Daily Telegraph. The animal was trying to rescue her lambs who fell into the swamp first, but they drowned.
Julian Tustian, a 43-year-old farmer, recalled: "When I got there, David was in the swamp along with two police bodyguards.
"He was brilliant - pulling, pushing and shoving. He was covered in mud. He looked a mess.
"It's nice to see, really. The police didn't have to do that and neither did David Cameron."
The surviving ewe, now named Swampy, is in good health after the incident.
