The officers couldn't get many details from the caller.
When they arrived at the scene, they found an elderly Poodle sitting on a tall chair on the café's terrace.
A patient wait
The dog could never have climbed up there by himself. Next to him was a plastic cup full of water, making it clear that someone had left him there.
The officers couldn't ask the café staff any questions, as it was 4 a.m. and the café was still closed. They took the dog to a vet for a check-up. Fortunately, the examination revealed that the dog had no injuries; he was just very tired.
Family reunion
The officers named the little dog Frappe and settled him into the shelter to rest and regain his strength. A few days later, they received a call from his family, who had been searching for him everywhere.
The dog's real name is Duke, and his family had been moving heaven and earth to find him. Duke is now back home, with the people he loves most in the world.
