Police at the Spanish town of Molina de Segura received a number of panicked calls reporting that a lion had been spotted (seen) in the nearby area.
Officers were dispatched to track down the big cat. But they discovered it was in fact a very, very big dog. When they caught up with the 'lion', they were able to find it had been given a microchip and, after checking its details, found they were in fact dealing with a dog. Officers were then able to reunite the lion-looking pet with its owner.
The police said they have no idea why the dog was given that haircut.
