Drug-sniffing dog goes astray: A young service dog from Dresden has run away. The police are asking the public not to try to catch the shy dog on their own.

Enough work—that’s probably what a police dog in Dresden thought, and he took off. According to the Dresden police, the four-year-old black-and-brown Malinois (Belgian Shepherd) ran away from a property in the Reichenbach district of Großschirma at noon. According to the report, the dog is primarily trained as a narcotics and currency detection dog and is also trained in protection work.

Report sightings via the emergency hotline

According to reports, the dog tends to be shy and reserved around strangers. Anyone who sees the animal should call the emergency hotline and not approach it. Although the young Malinois is not aggressive, the police ask that people refrain from attempting to capture him and not corner the dog. It is assumed that he is currently wandering around disoriented.

According to reports, the police have already received initial tips. A stray dog was reportedly seen in the Schmalbach district of Striegistal as well as in the area of the A4 between Berbersdorf and Hainichen.
