() A K-9 unit in Indiana located two missing children Sunday after they became separated from their mother in the Hoosier National Forest.
Deputy Cody Loncaric and his K-9, Knox, were dispatched to the scene to help locate the missing 11-year-olds, according to the Brown County Sheriff’s Office. According to a Facebook post by the sheriff’s office, Knox began his first track closer to where the children went missing.
“K-9 Knox pointed first responders in the right direction and helped to successfully locate the two missing juveniles,” the post said. “We are beyond thankful for the great teamwork put together by all involved.”
Knox has been serving with the sheriff’s office since June, after graduating from Redemption Ranch K9. According to the organization, Knox’s life began as a stray outside an Indiana truck stop before he was rescued. Now, he’s busy returning the favor.
