Missing police dog found ‘safe and well’ after search near Loch Ness

A police dog missing in an area north of the A831 near Loch Ness has been traced safe and well and re-united with her handler.

PD Fergie was being walked north of Polmaily House around 10am on Sunday, 30 June, when a deer bolted in front of her and she ran off.

The three-and-a-half-year-old black and tan German Shepherd was found around 2.50pm on Monday, 1 July, not far from where she was last seen.

Chief Inspector Gordon Fotheringham, Police Dog Unit Lead for the North, said: “Following searches PD Fergie has been traced and is now back with her handler.“We are all delighted and we would like to thank everyone who shared and responded to our appeal.”
