Bodycam Video Shows Dog Lead Police to Owner Who Needed Help
Police said the resident had been unable to get up for more than three hours before the dog led help to the garage.
A dog in Leawood, Kansas, led a Police officer to its home, where the owner had been trapped in a garage for more than three hours.
The rescue began when a patrolling Leawood Police Department officer spotted the dog standing alone on a road with its leash attached but no owner nearby.
Following the animal roughly half a block to the house, the officer discovered an open garage door and the resident lying on the ground, unable to stand.
Medical crews arrived to treat the resident on the scene, and Police officials confirmed the individual is now back home and safely recovering from the incident.
Leawood Police officials credited the officer's decision to track the unattended dog, which ensured the injured homeowner received assistance after being trapped for hours.
