KANSAS CITY, Missouri (KMBC) — The Kansas City Police Department is crediting a four-legged friend for its help in reuniting a lost toddler with their family.
Police responded to a call about a toddler wandering barefoot in the street last week. Officers began working to try to find out who the toddler was and where their family was when the dog “kept nudging at the officers.”
The officers had a feeling the dog was trying to tell them something, so when it began to wander away, they followed it.
The dog led officers to a nearby house, which turned out to be the toddler’s home.
The child was reunited with family thanks to the pup’s help.
“Some heroes have four legs,” KCPD said on social media.
Police are investigating what led to the incident.
