A man in the Dominican Republic was arrested by police last week for reportedly flouting local curfew rules, put in place to help curb the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Luckily, the man had a friend on hand to help persuade officers not to hold him for too long.
After taking the man down to the police station in handcuffs, they were all left baffled when a furry, four-legged friend came bounding into the station to protect the arrestee.
You can watch the moment the man and his pooch were reunited here:
