Floss the four-wheel sheep dog needs a home

Farmer Dave Isaac, 46, converted the car at a cost of £2,000 after his favourite dog died.
Sheep on his ancient farm, near Battle, East Sussex, proved happy to be rounded up by a much larger animal with headlamps for eyes.
But alas Dave has had trouble getting Floss along the narrow farm tracks and through the gates to his fields and the car is taking up too much space in his barn.

She drives well, is obedient and nice and docile

The farmer said: “They were things we didn’t really consider when we built her so with a heavy heart she is going on eBay.
“She drives well, is obedient and nice and docile.
"But it’s back to the tried and tested traditional sheep dog again.”
He added: “As long as she goes to a good home I’ll be happy.”
