You never know what will happen on a walk in the woods.

Reid Thompson and his girlfriend were on a hiking trail in Kenora, Ontario, over the weekend when they let Finn off his leash, Fox News reported. Normally, Finn stays close by, but Finn spotted a deer and took off after it, Inside Edition reported.

Eventually the pup was spotted by Ontario police, Fox News reported, who put him in the back of a cruiser like the alleged criminal he is. It looked as if he was under arrest and behind bars, contemplating his "crime."

TRENDING NOW:

Thompson told Fox News, "I was informed that Finn had been causing some chaos as he chased a deer along the road, through the hospital grounds and back onto the road. They tangled for a bit, up and over a guardrail and down onto the ice ... eventually the deer got away and Finn gave up the chase."

Emme Thompson saw Finn and had to take a photo, which quickly went viral.

But apparently Finn isn’t the only dog which found itself in the back seat of a police car.

Other animal owners posted photos of their pups who have been picked up by officers.

Emme Thompson posted later, saying that police left Finn off with a warning.

Her father said he got a warning from police, too. The elder Thompson told Fox News that he got "a stern lecture about keeping the dog leashed" and that he could have a follow-up call from the city's animal control officers.
