UNION COUNTY, N.C. — Late last month a Union Co. Sheriff’s Office bloodhound successfully tracked and located a missing person with a cognitive impairment.
Union Co. authorities were sent to an Indian Trail home to investigate a report of a missing person. The caller said an elderly loved one had left the family home walking and had not been seen for a long time.
Officers called for K-9 bloodhound, Justice, to be brought to the residence and provided the dog with an article with the missing person’s scent on it. Justice began tracking the scent and found the missing person about 1/2 mile away from the house unharmed.
The missing person was returned home by Union Co. authorities and reunited with family members.
