Kansas dog leads police to owner trapped in garage

A dog in Leawood, Kansas, successfully alerted police to its owner's medical emergency after the owner fell in a garage and remained unable to get up for over three hours.

On the night of September 17, a patrolling officer noticed a dog on a leash barking persistently in a residential area. After the officer approached, the dog led the patrol car approximately half a block to a residence. Upon arriving at the driveway, the officer discovered the owner lying on the garage floor.

The Leawood Police Department released body camera footage of the incident, praising the animal as a ‘loyal companion.’ Medical personnel provided necessary care to the man, who has since returned home to recover.
