A dog has been returned to her owners in Scotland one year after she was stolen.
Issy was found wandering around Ballymena in Co Antrim last week.
Members of the local authority there picked her up as a stray, before realising she had been reported as missing a year earlier.
On scanning the dog's microchip, the officers realised that Issy - along with her brother Diego - had been reported stolen.
'I could not quite believe it'
In May 2022, the then four-month-old pups were taken from their front garden in Glasgow.
Having given up hope of seeing them again, owner Isabella Roden said she was stunned to receive a call telling her Issy was safe and well.
"Receiving the phone call from [Enforcement Officer Nigel Devine] was incredible and I could not quite believe it," she said.
"Since then I have done nothing but think of my Issy coming home.
"Seeing the photos of her that Nigel sent has put my emotions all over the place.
"I still have hope that Issy's brother Diego may also one day be returned to me.
"I am so grateful to Mid and East Antrim Borough Council for their vigilance," she added.
'Determined to track down Diego'
Mr Devine travelled to Scotland on Saturday to personally reunite Issy with Isabella.
He said: "I was delighted to be able to bring Issy back home to Isabella, who was just so amazed and thankful to get her wee dog back after all this time.
"It is unbelievable that a wee stray found in Ballymena had been taken from Scotland - but it just shows how important it is to microchip pets and to report it immediately should they be lost or stolen.
"I'm determined to do my best to track down Diego next and hopefully get him back to Isabella too," he added.
Prior to setting sail for Scotland, Issy was treated to a free pampering session by a local dog groomer so she was looking her best heading home.
