Shepherds and bureaucrats

An official was hiking when he saw a shepherd looking after a big sheep. The bureaucrat likes sheep very much, so he asks the shepherd, "If I can guess how many there are, can I take a sheep?" The shepherd thought he couldn't guess the exact number, so he agreed.

The bureaucrat guessed, "You have 287 sheep." The shepherd was shocked because it was an accurate figure.

"Can I choose a sheep?" Asked the bureaucrat. The shepherd reluctantly agreed. The bureaucrat picked a sheep, carried it on his shoulder and took it home.

The shepherd has an idea. "If I guess your identity," he said, "can I have my sheep back?" The bureaucrat was very surprised, but considering that the shepherd had little chance to guess, he agreed. "You are an official," the shepherd guessed.

The bureaucrat paused and asked, "How do you know?"

The shepherd replied, "put my dog down first, and then we'll talk."
