€4,000 reward for missing dog

Golden retriever Biko has been missing from Geesteren, Overijssel since February. Despite extensive searches, he hasn't been found. Missing animals organization Zoekteam Dogs Lovers now offered a reward of 4 thousand euros for the tip that leads to the missing doggo, RTL Nieuws reports.

The organization is contributing 3 thousand euros to the reward, 500 eruos comes form Biko's owner and the rest was donated by an anonymous dog lover.

According to Astrid van Huizen of Zoekteam, this is a last-ditch attempt. "My last information is that Biko is in the Netherlands, in Drenthe", she said to RTV Oost. This was based on anonymous tips.

Zoekteam Dogs Lovers searched for Biko in February, but with no results. His owner's sister-in-law asked them to renew the search.
