A lost spaniel has been reunited with his owner after he was found in the water in Shetland during the Tall Ships event.
The coastguard was made of the incident near Holmsgarth Pier in Lerwick at around 12.20am on Saturday.
It is understood the dog, called Smudge, was in a dingy with a group of people before he jumped overboard into the water.
Shetland Coastguard said the pooch made his own way to shore before being taken into the care of the police.
After the police published an appeal, Smudge was reunited with his owner nearly 10 hours later.
Police added online: “After a successful first shift on duty at Lerwick Police Station temporary police dog Smudge has been collected by his very happy owner.”
The Tall Ships event came to an end on Saturday.
