A dog’s sense of smell is 40 times greater than ours and they can smell things buried as far as “40 feet underground.”
Parents and neighbors had been looking in the woods but could not find the two eight-year-olds, according to USA Today
When police were called, deputies from Powhatan Sheriff’s Office arrived with K-9 Bane.
After searching the house they then started looking in the woods. In just 15 minutes Bane tracked and located the children.
“As soon as the children were home safe he was back on patrol eager for the next call for service,” said a Powhatan Sheriff’s Office Facebook post praising this incredible dog.
Please share to pay tribute to this wonderful police dog and all the other dogs that provide such an invaluable service every day.
