A dog in Leawood, Kansas, is being praised by police for helping officers locate its owner, who had fallen and was unable to get up.
According to the Leawood Police Department, an officer spotted the leashed dog wandering in the middle of a residential street with no owner in sight. The dog barked at the officer before leading him about half a block to a nearby home.
The officer followed the dog up the driveway and discovered the garage door open and the homeowner lying on the floor. Police said the resident had been there for more than three hours and was unable to get up. The resident was treated by medical personnel and is now recovering safely at home. Police credited the dog as a "loyal companion" whose actions helped the officer find the resident and get them the assistance they needed.
