Police in Aberdeen have joked that a runaway dog is spending a night in police custody, while they search for her owner.

Officers found her behind St Machar Academy at around 7pm.

While she has been microchipped, police say any hopes of using it to find her owner have “proved negative”.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 and ask for the public office at Queen Street.

A police spokesman said: “This wee beauty is currently spending the evening in police custody at Queen Street Police Office after being found behind St Machar Academy, Aberdeen about 7pm tonight.

“Dog is chipped but local enquiries have proved negative.”
