A farmer was crushed to death by machinery in a freak accident - caused by his sheepdog.
Harry Emslie, 67, left the border collie in the cab of a telescopic loader with the engine still running - and the handbrake off.
But as he shovelled rubbish into the bucket in front of the machine, the dog caught a control and it shot forward and pinned him against the wall of a farmshed.
Yesterday, police and Health and Safety Executive officers were probing the tragedy on Harry's farm close to Clola, near Peterhead in Aberdeenshire.
