Bodycam captures dog leading Florida deputy to injured senior
By: -----
Shalimar, FL - In a remarkable act of loyalty and instinct, a dog named Eeyore became the hero of the night in Florida, after leading a sheriff’s deputy to his injured owner.
The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) posted on Monday that it began with a call from a worried husband whose wife hadn’t returned from walking their son’s dog in Shalimar.
“She never takes more than 10 or 15 minutes. It's over almost an hour now.” her husband said with worry.
The woman, a senior citizen, had fallen during the walk and was unable to get up or call for help, according to the sheriff’s office.
But she wasn’t alone.
Eeyore, the dog she was walking, stayed by her side and ultimately guided a responding deputy straight to her location.
“Where's your mommy? Come on, hold on. Where's your mama? Show me where mama is,” the deputy asked the dog.
The deputy’s body cam footage shows the moment Eeyore took the lead, his tail wagging as he trotted ahead.
“You’re such a good boy!” the woman said when help arrived. “Grandma loves you.”
The Sheriff’s Office says Eeyore’s behavior was nothing short of extraordinary.
“He ran up to my car and I said, bring me to your mommy, and he ran back here,” the deputy told the woman.
“Very good boy. I'm not even his owner. I'm his grandmother,” the woman said.
