Police say one of their newest officers managed to help catch two men at the weekend.
Police dog Simba was called out in the early hours of Friday morning in Douglas.
When he and his handler arrived, two men ran off - only to be tracked to a hiding place by the doggy detective.
Officers say the two men were swiftly arrested - the first time Simba's been involved in an arrest.
