Animal rescuers rushed to the aid of a dog stranded on a roof - only to find a 4ft cuddly toy.
Callers reported seeing the stranded pooch on a church roof and feared it was dead when they realised it wasn't moving.
RSPCA inspector Nigel Duguid clambered up to discover the stricken "dog" in Port Talbot, South Wales, was a lifelike toy.
He said: "I must admit it was such a relief. I had been preparing myself for what could have been an extremely distressing and difficult job, and then I realised that it wasn't a dog at all! "
The woof on the roof drama started when a caller spotted the Great Dane-style toy on top of a flat roof of the Elim Pentecostal Church.
The RSPCA inspector rigged up a ladder to reach the pooch - and then carefully took it away in his van.
Insp Duguid said: "We get calls to all sorts of things - all animals of all shapes and sizes and species.

The RSPCA receives more than 1.1 million calls to its 24-hour emergency hotline each year.
But Inspector Duguid welcome that some of the calls provide some light relief from distressing complaints of cruelty.
