A poacher-hunting dog in South Africa has been awarded a medal for his work in helping save endangered rhinos.
K9 Killer's tracking skills have led to the arrest of 115 poachers in Kruger National Park over the last four years.
His contribution to saving the rhino population was "truly remarkable", said UK vet charity PDSA, which awarded the gold medal for animal heroes.
There are fears that rhinos, hunted for their lucrative horns, could be extinct within 10 years.
There is huge demand for the horns in Asia for use in traditional medicine because of their supposed healing properties, even though they are made from the same material as fingernails.
