Lost Cop Dog a Habitual Runaway?

Police dog Bear during a calmer moment

Well, not exactly. But Bear, the police dog who ran away from his handler’s Chicago home during a storm last week, had done it before.

When Bear was about a year old, just prior to another storm, he was similarly frightened and climbed the fence “like a monkey.” “I never saw a dog do that,” said handler Rick King.

[I have. The dogs I grew up with were German Shepherd mixes, and they routinely climbed fences that were in their way.]

King put in a higher fence after Bear’s last escape; now he’s searching for one that’s higher yet. Good luck with that.
