A DOG DETECTIVE.
Brussels boasts a police dog of exceptional intelligence. For some time, in the shadier quarters of the city, there have been committed, under cover of evening a long series of attacks on cyclists, who have in all cases had their machines stolen. The chief of police at last determined to organise a special preventative service against these crimes. It so happened that one of the officers charged, with this service possesses a dog, whose natural intelligence has been quickened by the best professional training which his master could give him. This dog was pressed into the service.
The other evening, as his owner was unsuspiciously passing some piles of masonry on waste ground, the dog became restlessly alert, and, rushing among all the ins and outs, soon led the officer to the hidingplace of five of the worst thieves known to the Brussels police. The spectacle of five men being “shepherded” to gaol by one police officer and a dog attracted much attention.
