KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has unveiled its latest “weapon” in trying to reunite lost property with its owners – a gorgeous Beagle.

Every week, KLM receives 40,000 questions via social media and one of the most asked questions is about getting lost items back.

This inspired KLM to set up a dedicated Lost & Found team that uses all available information like seat number, phone numbers and public social media details to reunite passengers with their belongings.

The airline boasts that 80 per cent of lost items are returned to the owners, many with the aid of the Beagle.

The adorable Beagle literally “sniffs out” the owner who is typically still in the terminal.

Named “Sherlock” the Beagle has returned mobile phones and stuffed animals to children.

The video below tells the story beautifully.

Enjoy!!
