TheWoWDBClick on the Wayward Lamb enough times and you'll be treated to a spectacular explosion (a la the older Warcraft games). Gotta drop and pick up quest to get him back, but it's totally worth it.

Francis hides cowering behind a rock and hedge at 78.2 32.9 :D
Uprated for the neat info. To be clear, you do indeed need to drop the quest in order to get the lamb back after it explodes, however you do not need to lamb with you to complete the quest.

Description
I'm not the only one having trouble with his stock, it seems. One of Francis' sheep has wandered over to my ranch, for the third time this week. I'm beginning to think he needs help tending to his flock. You should check up on him, neighbor. And bring this poor little thing with you.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Back to the Sty
I try to keep an eye on my stock, but every once in a while some of them sneak away. With all the confusion these virmen are causing, I may have let my guard down for a few moments, and some of my pigs escaped. Care to look for them? I'd start by looking down the hill, to the west.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Piercing Talons and Slavering Jaws
First the hawks came. You've probably seen some of them circling up above. The wolves came shortly after. I think they smelled my weakness. I'm not nearly as brave as Master Shang thought I was. The master will be quite cross with me if I don't do something about these beasts. Can...
