DOG owners have been urged to keep their pets under control after police were contacted about sheep worrying at Barns Ness.
East Lothian Council Countryside Rangers and Police Scotland were both contacted on Sunday, with the animal chasing the sheep for about 15 minutes.
A spokesman for the countryside rangers reminded dog owners of their responsibilities.
He said: “These sheep are pregnant and whilst it appears that they didn’t sustain any physical injuries, there is still the possibility that they could abort.
“Not only is this horrific for the sheep, but these lambs are also someone’s livelihood.
“Allowing your dog to chase or attack sheep is a criminal offence.
“Your dog should be under close control at all times.
“If you cannot guarantee that your dog will respond to command then it should be on a lead.”
Anyone looking to report an incident should contact Police Scotland on 101.
