A clever canine is being hailed as a hero after miraculously helping cops find an elderly Florida woman who had fallen and was injured while taking him for a walk.<\/p>\n

According to police, the drama began on the night of Sept. 25 with a desperate call from a \u201cdistraught husband\u201d to the Okaloosa County Sheriff\u2019s Office claiming his 86-year-old wife hadn\u2019t returned from walking her son\u2019s dog, Eeyore. The woman reportedly fell and injured herself while walking the pooch in the Destin area, say authorities, per The Northwest Florida Daily News<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe just takes that dog, but she never takes more than 10 or 15 minutes,\u201d the worried man told Devon Miller<\/strong>, an Okaloosa county sheriff\u2019s deputy, who responded to the call.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost an hour now. It\u2019s over an hour now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deputy began driving through the streets of the neighborhood in Destin, a panhandle beach community known for its white sand and emerald waters, in search of the missing woman.<\/p>\n

But before too long, she spotted Eeyore \u2014 a 7-year-old shepherd-Rottweiler mix \u2014 roaming around in the middle of the road!<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really worried at the start of the call because it was nighttime and wooded. But when he ran up to my car he was really excited,\u201d recalls the deputy.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe he can lead me to her,\u201d she wondered. \u201cI\u2019ve seen movies where it\u2019s happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as she got out of her car and grabbed the leash, Eeyore was on a mission.<\/p>\n

And amazingly, the clever pooch took Miller straight to the missing woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he came up to my car his tail was wagging and happy, and panting \u2026 but the second I got the leash, he practically dragged me to her,\u201d Miller says.<\/p>\n

While the deputy is being praised, she gives all the credit to the pooch.<\/p>\n

\u201cEeyore is the main hero here. He deserves lots of belly rubs. He deserves a steak dinner. That dog did everything. He\u2019s the true hero.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
