Lost, but smart: Dachshund seeks help at lost-and-found office
Jan 5, 2010, 15:36 GMT
Bredstedt, Germany - A German dachshund dog which could not find its way home turned itself in at a lost-and-found office, municipal officials at Bredstedt in Germany's far north said Tuesday.
Druse vom Hoellengrund, a bitch trained to attack foxes in their underground lairs, trotted into the municipal office building in Bredstedt just after it opened for the day, and lay down exhausted on the floor in front of the elevator.
A receptionist then called down staff from the lost-and-found office in the building to register the dog.
Druse was quickly re-united with her owner, thanks to a local hunter who happened to be in the building and recognized the animal.
Officials said Druse seemed to have got lost during a hunt on Saturday, probably after losing a fox's scent during a chase, and headed into the small town after failing to find her way home.
