Dog Helps to Find US Woman Who Goes Missing for Three Days

A 63-year-old US woman, missing for three days, was found by the rescue team in Texas. It is all thanks to her pet Max.

Sherry Noppe, who was recently diagnosed with dementia, ventured out to walk Max. The dog is a black Labrador. Max could have run away without a collar or leash, but the loyal dog stood beside her for three days and helped the rescue team spot her. Max’s barks alerted deputies and volunteers searching for the woman in George Bush Park in Houston.

“Constable Ted Heap is relieved to report Sherry Noppe, missing since Tuesday, has been found in George Bush Park. She was located at approx. 3 am Friday by a group of tireless volunteers and deputies who were alerted by the sound of her dog, Max, barking in the woods,” tweeted Harris County Constable Precinct 5, the law enforcement agency in West Harris County.

Sherry was missing since Tuesday afternoon and was last spotted near Fry and Highland Knolls. She was dehydrated and was found with bruises. She was later taken to the Memorial Hermann Hospital.
