Leaving something behind on an airplane is the worst, but wouldn't it be fun if an adorable dog was there to reunite you with your belongings? A new airline commercial imagines what that would be like with "Sherlock" the lost and found beagle.

KLM's lost and found team monitors social media for mentions of lost items and when flight crews find items like phones or stuffed animals left behind on planes, they do their best to quickly reunite the items with their owners. In a new video posted to KLM's Facebook page, Sherlock joins the team. When an item is discovered, he springs into action. With the item securely placed in Sherlock's vest, he runs through the terminal to deliver it to the waiting passenger.

Sherlock's employ with KLM was just for the commercial, but considering the response it's getting, KLM might want to consider actually hiring him. Video of the pooch in action posted on KLM's Facebook page has been shared more than 97,000 times since it was posted on Tuesday.
