In Louisville, a search for a missing three-year-old ended with an unexpected hero: a mysterious neighborhood dog. Police body cam footage shows officers combing the area and even launching a helicopter, but with no sign of the child.
Then a dog approached Officer Josh Thompson, barking and urging him to follow.
Trusting the instinct, the officer let the dog lead him through a yard and straight to the back bumper of a parked car, where the little boy had accidentally become locked inside.
Officers say they had never seen the dog before that moment and haven’t seen it since, he just quietly disappeared after saving the day.
