Chicago police dog Bear goes missing again
Bear, a Chicago police dog who went missing last month during a thunderstorm, has disappeared again.
On May 13, Bear jumped a 6-foot-high fence at his handler’s home and was found four days later outside Evergreen Cemetery.
On Saturday, the German Shepherd disappeared again, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Police were conducting a search for the dog Sunday morning. They described Bear as a 74-pound German Shepherd trained to track, do search and rescue and search property. The dog is black and tan in color and has an identification computer chip implanted under his skin.
Chicago Police dogs live with their handlers. The typical police dog costs more than $5,000, according to the department’s website, and must undergo 12 to 16 weeks of training.
