A woman and her baby had been missing for two days after a routine shopping trip. Her husband, panicked when she stopped answering calls, alerted the police.
After days with no leads, investigators found her abandoned car on a remote mountain road — but no sign of her or the baby.
That’s when Max, a newly assigned police dog, stepped in.
Despite the vast terrain, Max picked up a fresh scent and led the team deep into the woods. After hours of searching, they found the mother and baby huddled in a secluded clearing — cold, but alive.
It was Max’s first day on the job. And he was already a hero.
