<\/p>\nOn May 2, the Greenwood Village Police Department, in Colorado, received a call about an 85-year-old woman who had been missing for two hours.<\/p>\n
To help bring the woman home as soon as possible, the department deployed a K9 named Mercury, who has been with the department since July 2022 and is specially trained in tracking down missing persons.<\/p>\n
Mercury and her handler Officer Speer arrived on the scene and got to work. The dog quickly found a trail and led the officers to a steep ravine \u2014 where the senior woman was found, clinging to a tree.<\/p>\n
Bodycam footage shows the moment Speer and Mercury found the woman. \u201cThis is a friendly dog; he found you,\u201d Speer tells the woman. \u201cWe\u2019re going to get you home, okay?\u201d<\/p>\n
According to a Facebook post from the City of Greenwood Village Government, the deep ravine couldn\u2019t be seen from the roadway or canal, so it\u2019s unlikely the woman would\u2019ve been found soon if it wasn\u2019t for Mercury \u2014 whose search took no time at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had been searching for her for two hours and Mercury and officer Speer found her in 10 minutes: Pete Holman, the missing woman\u2019s son, wrote on Facebook. \u201cIt was like watching a Navy Seal extraction.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that his mother became \u201cgassed out\u201d after trying to climb the hill and was unable to move.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
