Last year, a police dog who escaped while searching for a missing person in the mountains of Hyogo Prefecture was decided to return to the scene after three months of training.

The Hyogo Prefectural Police Headquarters Forensics Division says, "I would like to continue to spend more time with police officers, build relationships of trust, and look forward to further success."
