Police officers raced to a Bed and Breakfast in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, on Tuesday evening after getting a silent emergency call.
The concerned cops were relieved arriving on the scene when it turned out a one-year-old pooch, Cino, had been playing with the wireless handset and had somehow dialled the emergency numbers.
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.
Police would not disclose if Cino would be pup on charges for wasting police time.
