Branson K-9 unit helps locate runaway child

(From the Branson Police Department)

Tuesday, our newest K9 Team, Cobra and his handler Officer Harvey, were called to assist on a child that had runaway approximately 2.5 hours earlier.

Together, the K9 team began a track on the child in a heavily wooded area and successfully located the child safely. 

Detectives and Patrol Officers also worked to find the lost child quickly.

Dogs can smell about 1000 times better than humans can! Both K9s in Branson are trained not only to track criminals, but also to safely find lost individuals.
