A social media account for a police dog who retired to the Isle of Man is asking for donations in his memory after he died.
Vinnie originally worked for Dorset police, but came to the Isle of Man after being adopted at the end of his working life.
On Twitter, his family said he was a truly brilliant dog, putting in a great shift as both a police dog and a much-loved family pet.
They're now asking people to donate to Pawsome Pensions, a charity which looks after retired emergency services dogs.
Sad news. 1/3

Today Vinnie went peacefully surrounded by those he loved. He could no longer move much unaided, even reaching his water bowl next to him was a struggle. His front legs were getting weaker, and he was struggling in his wheelchair, not really enjoying his walks.
