TWO hapless Hampshire hounds are in the doghouse after making a 999 call.
One of Jean Lockyer's two Labradors summoned the long arm of the law when it used a cordless phone as a plaything.
Police dashed to the house at Wootton in the New Forest amid fears it was the scene of a genuine emergency - but soon discovered they were barking up the wrong tree.
When a policewoman arrived at the property she found nothing more dramatic than 67-year-old Jean preparing to make a cup of tea.
