Officers have unveiled the force's first ever Giant Schnauzer police dog.
Hondo is currently in training to become a general patrol dog (GPD) for Police Scotland and will work in Inverness.
The force said: "We're very excited to introduce TPD Hondo, our first ever Giant Schnauzer.
"Hondo is in training to be a General Patrol Dog in Inverness.
"We'd like to thank Ceara at Lordstone Kennels for this amazing, confident pup.
“He comes from great working lines, and has relatives that are already GPDs with Devon & Cornwall Police where they have found vulnerable people and caught violent suspects.
“Giant Schnauzers are an athletic breed with great noses and we hope that Hondo follows in his relatives' paw prints!
"We'll keep you all informed with further "Pupdates" as he progresses through his training.”
