Meet Pete, the Special Sheep

Pete's Special Talent
Pete, the sheep, becomes a very important part of the salon. He doesn't just watch anymore. Pete has a natural talent for styling wool! He helps Shaun by showing the other sheep how to pose for their new looks. He even gives some sheep a little nudge in the right direction.
