In a new commercial , KLM Royal Dutch Airlines imagines a perfect world in which a lost and found service at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol uses a beagle named Sherlock to return misplaced iPhones and toys and comfort anxious fliers. The ad has already racked up more than 1. Some Internet users thought the puppy was on staff at the Dutch airline and were disappointed to learn that he was only hired for this commercial.

A Dutch airline that announced it was employing a trained beagle to return lost luggage to passengers at the airport says the dog was merely a mascot for its lost-and-found team. The airline, KLM, issued a press release introducing Sherlock , who purportedly had been trained to locate the rightful owners of lost items — like cellphones and stuffed animals — at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, often before they know they've been lost.

The airline said it is able to return an impressive 80 percent of lost items using all available information like seat numbers, phone numbers, "public social media details," and, as the video strongly suggests, Sherlock. Not surprisingly, the adorable, two-minute YouTube clip has already racked up nearly , views. But a spokesperson for the airline told a Dutch news website that the beagle was merely figurative.

Lots of luck with that, by the way, because those videos were just over the top. You knew they were putting you on. Hands up if you feel the same way. Thanks a lot, KLM. This was confirmed by a Dutch-speaking Reddit user, in a translation of an interview with a KLM spokesman , but not before websites like smarty-pants Mental Floss reported it as legitimate , which, in turn, got its report from CNN.
