Missing Anoka Co. sheriff's dog is found

A police drug-sniffing dog that went missing in Champlin has been found.

The Anoka County Sheriff's Department says Sherman was found by a citizen Friday morning and returned to his handler.

The 4-year-old black lab went missing Thursday, after a service worker accidentally left the gate to his kennel open.

Sherman is trained to detect narcotics. The sheriff's department credits media attention for his quick recovery.
