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.

"But in my 37 years as an RSPCA inspector I have never been called to rescue a cuddly toy before!"
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.

Dogs are better than women as companions. It hurts more when a dog leaves too soon.
