CHICAGO — Bear, the Chicago Police dog that took off in May before being found in a cemetery, is again missing, police said.

The 74-pound black and tan German shepherd was discovered missing about midnight Saturday, a Chicago Police spokesman said.

Bear is trained to track, do search and rescue, and search property.

An identification computer chip is implanted under his skin, according to a police release issued in May.

Police are asking anyone who spots Bear to call 911 or (312) 746-7180.
