Police said they safely found a Farmer's Branch police dog that had escaped in Plano Tuesday morning.
Plano Police Department's David Tilley said something "spooked" the dog, causing it to run away when its handler — a Farmer's Branch police officer — arrived at his Plano home.
Police located the dog at about 7 a.m., less than an hour after after it went missing.
Three nearby Plano Independent School District campuses — Bowman Middle School and Barron and Memorial elementary schools — were on alert while the dog was missing.
