The story

Wallace and his dog, Gromit, operate a window cleaning business. Wallace falls for Wendolene Ramsbottom, the owner of a wool shop that is supplied by her sinister dog, Preston, rustling sheep. One rustled sheep follows Wallace and Gromit home; Wallace names him Shaun and cleans him up using his Knit-o-Matic, a machine which shears sheep and knits the wool into jumpers.
