By waterbaby
K9 dogs play a crucial role in police departments, thanks to their exceptional senses that humans don't possess. They excel in important tasks like locating missing individuals.
Just recently, a K9 dog named Midnight stepped up and became a hero by tracking down a missing 3-year-old and safely bringing him home.
The DeLand Police Department in Florida received a report about a missing 3-year-old child, as outlined in a Facebook announcement. They initiated a comprehensive search, utilizing all available assets and resources, including the skilled K9 officer Midnight, who quickly proved to be indispensable in the operation.

Midnight sniffed the boy’s blanket to pick up his scent, and began following the trail through the woods, along with his handler Corporal Clark.
Their search led them to the missing 3-year-old, who thankfully was reportedly “unharmed,” and was soon safely returned to his family. The department also gave the boy a police teddy bear.

According to the post, Midnight has been with the DeLand Police Department since 2022, and is trained to search for narcotics and missing people. Many people thanked Midnight for his service and hailed him as a hero.
“I’d say he needs a big reward for this!” one person commented.
“Great job Midnight! You deserve the ball thrown all day today!”
