Still Game stars Jane McCarry and Mark Cox thanked firefighters who rescued their dogs after they were trapped down a hole in Glasgow.
The pair, better known as, Isa and Tam, from the hit show alerted the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service on Monday afternoon, September 4, after the pooches got stuck in the King's Park area of the city.
The crew from Castlemilk Community Fire Station immediately recognised the actors but quickly got to work and launched a rescue operation, fearing that the deep hole could collapse and trap the stricken animals.
Watch Commander Ricky Borland, said: "The hole the dogs had become trapped down was very deep and was located behind a large felled tree. The fear was that the hole would collapse and trap the dogs inside.
"We had to be very careful with how we worked, but were thankfully able to free the dogs safely.
"Jane and Mark were delighted and were very thankful. We're all big fans of the show, so recognised them right away.
"It was a successful rescue and a really positive outcome all round. The invite to the show was just the icing on the cake.
The firefighters were rewarded for their efforts with an invitation to the King's Theatre in Glasgow this weekend to the Still Game-inspired ‘People Huv Tae Know.’
