Story summary

In Leawood, Kansas, a dog was recently hailed by local authorities after it led an officer to its owner who had fallen and been unable to get up for over three hours. Police released bodycam footage showing how the small dog, initially found on a leash in the middle of a residential street while patrolling at night, barked insistently until the officer followed it home. The canine led the officer about half a block to an open garage where its owner was lying on the floor. Thanks to this loyal companion's actions, medical help arrived promptly and the resident is now recovering safely. Another dog joined them along the way but did not appear to be involved in seeking assistance.
