Last week's hero was a Chihuahua that helped a rescue of his dad from a glacier. This week's hero is Millie, another dog who found a missing child.
Millie, a Maine State Police bloodhound helps rescue 5-year-old with autism
PALERMO, Maine — A 10-month-old Maine State Police bloodhound is being hailed as a hero once again after locating a missing 5-year-old girl with autism Friday evening in the woods in Palermo.
Officials said the child had gone missing from her home on Rowe Road, Palermo, Maine, prompting a search by law enforcement and wildlife officials. Maine State Police bloodhound Millie, alongside her handler, Corporal Eric Sucy, and Maine Game Warden Julia Horst, tracked a scent trail approximately one-third of a mile from the girl’s home.
The girl was found around 5:30 p.m. in a cedar swamp, standing waist-deep in water but uninjured, officials said.
This isn’t Millie’s first successful rescue. Back in April, the bloodhound helped bring a missing 77-year-old woman from Rockport safely home.
