Police in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire smashed a car window to 'rescue' a toy dog from the heat after mistaking it for a real one.
After a member of the public reported a dog being left locked in a car, two officers confused the King Charles Spaniel toy worth £4.50 ($7.20) for a sleeping dog, according to The Sun.
Out of concern for the safety of the animal in the 18°C temperatures, the policemen smashed the window of the Mercedes after attempting to wake the toy.
Gordon Williams, 80, who owned the car and toy, returned to find his seat covered in smashed glass and an official police note reading: "Smashed your window re concern for animal on rear seat."
