Lost dog reunited with owner after she 'hands herself in' at police station

A lost dog found her owners again she walked into a police station. Border Collie Rosie was with her owner and another dog when she ran off on Friday.

Her owner desperately searched for her, to no avail. However, an hour later Rosie was reunited with her owner after she 'handed herself into police'.

CCTV showed the moment Rosie wandered through the automatic doors at Loughborough Police station in Leicestershire. Rosie walked around the entrance area of the cop shop before lying down by the doors. Stunned officers checked her collar, which had her owner’s name and number and on it, so called to let her know Rosie was safe.

Leicestershire Police said: "Thankfully she was wearing a collar, so a lead was available to contact Rosie's owner, who was delighted she had been found safe and well. Rosie was being walked nearby with a second dog when she managed to wander off.

"What a lovely, clever, dog. Our staff fetched some water for Rosie and made fast friends with plenty of fuss.”

Since police posted the footage on their Facebook page, it has attracted more than 2,000 views and shares. Social media users were quick to share their opinions on Rosie’s adventure.

Johnny Connell said: “She clearly followed signs for the nearest lost and hound!”

Shar Jones wrote: “Obviously wants to be part of the K-9 unit and become a police dog. Glad she ended up safe and well at the police station.”

Karon Kendillon-Hollis said: “I didn’t even know humans could get into Loughborough police station still.”
