UPDATE: According to Mashable, Sherlock the dog is part of a marketing campaign for KLM's new Lost & Found team that helps passengers reunite with their lost possessions. While the dog will not be an official member of the team, he may make appearances in the future. Read the original story below.
KLM, the Royal Dutch Airlines, is serious about getting your lost things back to you, and recently, they enlisted help of the furry kind.
In the ad, Sherlock the beagle aids the airline in returning items to their rightful owners by sniffing down the passenger who left their belonging behind.
Though the pup certainly brings an ample amount of cuteness to the airport, Sherlock is deliberate in his training.
"We train for muscle strength, endurance and, of course, socialization," Dirk Van Driel, Sherlock's trainer, says.
KLM says they brought Sherlock in after the airlines received a high number of quires about left behind items and so far, it's been a great success.
The company released a statement on Tuesday saying they were able to return 80 percent of the items found on planes, from electronics to stuff animals, thanks their canine co-worker.
Chantel Kremer, part of KLM's ground crew, says, "Personally, I think he's a real asset to the company... he can really do something no one else can."
