Northamptonshire Police has denied recruiting a black bear to its force after a social media post sparked wild rumours.
A snap of Police Dog Mac cooling down in the heat on Wednesday (June 22) with the help of handler PC Ian McDonald and a hose pipe.
But Twitter was quick to say the sight of Mac on his hind legs was even scarier than usual …
One posted: "When the dog turns in to a grizzly bear" and another "remake of American Werewolf is looking good.”
