(WHDH) — A K9 dog is being hailed a hero after it sniffed out the location of a missing toddler in Ohio on Tuesday.
Deputies responding to a report of a missing 3-year-old boy on Sidney Plattsville Road in Shelby County started searching for the child in front of a house, authorities said.
Within 10 minutes of arriving at the scene, Deputy Frank Bleigh’s K9 partner — Bandit — picked up a scent, took off, and tracked down the child.
“I would like to thank Frank and Bandit for a job well done and it was so amazing to watch this unfold,” the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post.
This child was not harmed.
