The Police in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, was baffled after a dog dialed the emergency number 911, summoning the police officers.
Some police officers raced to a B&B business in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, on Tuesday evening, July 22, after getting a silent emergency call.
It turned out a one-year-old pooch had been playing with the wireless handset and had somehow dialled the emergency numbers.
His owner, Jillian Merrouche, was startled when two officers suddenly knocked on the front door of her business.
After confirming that there were no children in the house who may have dialled the number, she realised that the house phone had been left outside.
She eventually found her cheeky pooch playing in the back garden – with the handset in his mouth.
Jillian, 46, said: “I don’t know how he managed to click in the numbers, but he did.
“I had left the phone on a ledge in the garden and he must have got hold of it and was playing with it.
“Suddenly I had the police on my door saying that they had a call from my house number before the line went dead.
“They asked if I had any children in the house who could have accidentally made the call, and then I realised that I had left the phone outside.
“I was a bit embarrassed by it – I hope the police saw the funny side.
