WEST POINT, Pa. — Upper Gwynedd Township police were proud of one of their own after an officer utilized his personal drone to track, find and rescue a lost puppy, NBC 10 reported.
Officer Yin Young responded to a call of a distraught owner who reported their 10-month-old German shepherd, Kasi, had run away from home. After an unsuccessful search on the ground, Young had the idea to get an aerial view.
Young put a video camera on his personal drone and sent it up into the air. After 20 minutes, Young was able to locate Kasi in the nearby woods.
Kasi’s owner, George Burns, was grateful to have his dog back safe and sound.
“It was a good idea,” Sergeant John Brinkman told NBC10. “We don’t want the owner to get hurt unnecessarily looking for the dog.”
The department may utilize drones in the future in searches for children.
