Video Shows Loyal Dog Lead Deputy to 86-Year-Old Grandma Who Was Missing and Injured
An Okaloosa County deputy rescued an 86-year-old woman after her grandson's dog led officers to her following a fall during a late-night walk, officials said.
- Recently, a dog named Eeyore led an Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office deputy to an injured 86-year-old woman after she fell during a late-night walk in Shalimar, Fla.
- Her husband called the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office after she failed to return from a 10- to 15-minute walk with her son's dog, Eeyore, and had been gone more than an hour, prompting a search.
- A deputy driving a patrol car stopped when Eeyore approached and then followed him to the woman on a sidewalk, then radioed for emergency medical services after finding her alert but possibly injured.
- The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office praised Eeyore's instincts and shared edited bodycam video on social media, releasing the footage on Monday after deputies found the woman alert and conscious.
- Research shows dogs sometimes try to rescue distressed people, a pattern seen last year in Stevens County and the 2023 Virginia rescue of a family of five; Eeyore was described as a 100-pound dog.
