Two donkeys out for a “romantic stroll” on Valentine's Day have been escorted home by police.
The adorable pair were spotted wandering side-by-side on a country road in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, by a passing motorist at 2am on February 14.
Police were called to help usher the animals, who were wearing rugs to keep warm, back to safety.
North East Police tweeted a picture of the pair strolling through the darkness and another of them back at a house.
They wrote: “We thought as it was Valentine’s Day we would have an uneventful shift until we came across two donkeys out for a romantic stroll on the B9024 near Turriff.
“Back in a field now. #FormartineCPT #Keepingdonkeyssafe”
PC Mark Maclean told STV News: “We were called around 2am to the B9024 between Turriff and Fortrie, after a motorist found two donkeys enjoying a romantic Valentine’s Day stroll along the road.
“Myself and PC Joseph Yeoman were happy to guide them safely on their way back home again.”
