A seal rescued from a car park has been released into the wild

Dot-to-Dot has been cared for by the Scottish SPCA

A seal that managed to navigate its way up through a harbour and into a car park has been released back into the wild.

The young pup was found near East Stewart Street in Greenock, Inverclyde, on November 25 last year.

He was taken to the Scottish SPCA national wildlife rescue centre at Fishcross in Clackmannanshire, where staff named him Dot-to-Dot.

They believe the seal, who was severely underweight, to have been two or three weeks old when discovered.

Steven Gray, manager of the centre, said: "What made his story so unusual was that he had managed to get up the harbour steps, along the promenade and into the car park.

"The fact Dot-to-Dot managed to negotiate these obstacles, especially as he was so young and underweight, was incredible.
