During the week of August 16, 2021, Champaign Police (CPD) responded to the report of a missing 8-year-old girl. Despite the parents and multiple police officers checking several addresses and yards, they were initially unsuccessful in locating the young girl. Enter Officer Trock and Lando, who arrived on scene and immediately began tracking the lost girl. They were successfully able to locate her very shortly, unharmed and playing, and reunited her with her family.
CPD adds that several members of the public heard about this story and offered to reward Lando with a burger or other treat, but he politely declined since he keeps a tight diet. Lando was commissioned as the department’s newest K9 this past summer.
