Firefighters have received emergency calls about a lost set of false teeth and a spider crawling onto a pillow.
London Fire Brigade revealed some of the strangest 999 calls in a bid to cut down on the number of non-emergency calls they receive.
Other calls included an elderly woman who asked for help after she threw water at fighting dogs, forgetting her dentures were in the glass.
The brigade said it had 100 unnecessary calls a week in the last year.
Senior officer Dave Brown said: "Our advice is simple - if it's not an emergency, don't ring 999."
