A fox has been rescued from drowning by a police officer
The officer has a most appropriate name - PC Fox
A fox cub is recovering after she was saved from drowning in a hole in a Glasgow dockyard - helped by a police officer called Robert Fox.
Members of the public rescued the young animal after spotting that she had fallen down a hole filled with water near King George V docks in Govan.
PC Fox and a colleague became involved after they noticed a gathering of people and went to investigate.
The group handed the fox cub to PC Fox, who took her to Govan Police Station where she was cared for until staff from animal welfare charity the Scottish SPCA arrived to collect her.
Scottish SPCA senior animal rescue officer Jan Toraman said: "Thankfully the cub was spotted by members of the public and it was lucky PC Fox and his colleague happened to be passing by.
"The female cub was immersed in water and was unable to get herself out of the hole."
