A missing seven-year-old girl was found by a K9 Unit after she was separated from her mother for nearly two hours in Aurora, Colorado, on Thursday, April 2.
Deputies from Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office found the missing girl in just 12 minutes with the help of K9 Rex, who was trained to find missing children.
“Deputy Gray and K9 Rex got to work using the girl’s shoes to track her scent. Rex quickly picked up the trail and led deputies to a nearby backyard where she was found,” the office wrote to Facebook.
“The scared girl tried to run again, but Deputy Halliburton safely caught up with her. She was unharmed and reunited with her family.”
Footage released by the department shows Rex guiding deputies to the missing girl, and being given a treat after successfully completing his task.
