Golden retriever fetches stolen handbag
A German golden retriever lived up to its name after it chased a mugger and returned a handbag to his female victim.
The dog and his owner were out walking in Berg-am-Laim when the 51-year-old woman had her handbag snatched and began shouting for help.
The passer-by sent dog Sizko off after the mugger, who quickly dropped the handbag when he felt the dog snapping at his heels.
A police spokesman said the golden retriever had guarded the bag until the lady caught up to collect her belongings.
The mugger has not been caught
Doggie ping!
Good Dog, Mamma needs to give you a steak.
Goldens are aptly named. Never a sweeter creature has trodden the Earth.
