The Auburn Police Department said a Massachusetts police K9
followed her nose to help find a 12-year-old who went missing
in frigid temperatures last week, tracking the child’s scent for
over two miles.

K9 Biza, a female German shepherd (above) was called on to
help after officers learned the child left their home at around
10:30 p.m. Wednesday and was last seen in the Pakachoag
Hill area of Auburn.

The child had left the home without a cellphone or their mother’s permission, the Worcester Telegram and Gazette reported.

Due to the freezing temperatures, police said that officers,
detectives and Massachusetts State Police troopers
converged on the area to locate the wandering child.

K9 Biza and her handler, Auburn Police Officer David Ljunggren,
(above)were deployed, and the dog eventually picked up a scent.

Biza tracked the scent for over two miles and led officers to an
area where they found evidence that the missing youth had
passed by a short time earlier. Additional officers converged
on the area and found the child a short time later. The child
was safe and reunited with family.

Biza joined the police department in 2022. She has her own 
Instagram account and was selected as "Miss December”
in the Massachusetts Vest-A-Dog 2024 calendar.
