Massachusetts police K9 on unsuccessful chase for more than 2 miles to find lost 12-year-old in ...

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.

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.

K9 HAS BEEN AWARDED A PURPLE HEART

K-9 Jack with paw injury

A Texas K9 was awarded a Purple Heart on Tuesday after he
heroically responded to an officer-involved shooting in
November.

Jack, a K9 who works with the Weatherford Police Department,
was attempting to help serve a warrant when the event turned
into a police shootout with a suspect.

Jack was shot in his paw and ear during the exchange of fire,
according to a FOX 4 report.

The department announced last week that Jack is now healed
and would be honored for his efforts.

"K9 Jack has recovered fully from his gunshot wound and is
happy to be back at work," the department wrote on Facebook.

During Tuesday’s ceremony, the K9 received a standing ovation
before he was awarded the medal.

"Jack very selflessly, with bravery and purpose, put himself
between the fugitive and officers," Weatherford Police Chief
Lance Arnold said during the ceremony.

Weatherford’s city council also presented Jack with a goody
basket filled with chew toys and his favorite snack, Cheez
Whiz (below).
