Sheep, Dog, 'n' Wolf (US PlayStation title: Sheep Raider) is a platform style game/stealth style game for PlayStation and Microsoft Windows, developed by Infogrames in France. Unlike a standard platformer, the game incorporates stealth and strategy.

The game is based on the popular Warner Bros. series of cartoons Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf. Controlling Ralph Wolf, the player must steal Sam Sheep-dog's sheep while navigating through a series of levels including two secret levels and a Bonus level.
