Sanders says the dog is a purebred German Shepherd who is “highly trained” and “will attack if my kids&family r in danger.”
“That’s why he’s expensive.”
Sanders also tweeted that he “almost cried” when Yasko was returned.
“He is man’s best friend and the home protector for the family.”
The dog has been missing for nearly nine months, according to Fox Sports.
There were reports that the dog went missing at the same time as Sanders’ messy divorce from Pilar Biggers. Fox Sports speculates that because the dog is highly trained, it would only have gone with someone familiar.
