Sometimes man’s best friend really does save the day.

A loyal dog in Leawood, Kansas, is being celebrated after flagging down a police officer and leading him straight back to its injured owner, who had reportedly been stranded on the floor of a garage for more than three hours.

The remarkable encounter happened on September 17 while a Leawood Police Department officer was patrolling a residential neighborhood, Johnson County Post reported.

The officer spotted a dog standing in the roadway with a leash attached, but there was no owner anywhere in sight.

Bodycam footage released by police shows the dog barking repeatedly at the officer as if it was desperately trying to get his attention.

“Hi, why don’t you go on back home?” the officer told the pup.

According to the Leawood Police Department, the officer got back in the car and followed the dog about half a block. The animal kept looking back, barking, and leading the way.

At the driveway, a second dog was waiting. “Is this where you live?” the officer asked. The garage door was wide open. Inside, the homeowner was on the concrete floor and could not get up.

Police say the resident had been down for more than three hours.

Bodycam video released by the department shows the officer checking on the homeowner — “Hi, are you OK?” — and calling for medical help.

“Thanks to the resident’s loyal companion, our officer was able to find them and get them the help they needed,” Leawood police said. “The resident was treated by medical personnel and is now recovering safely at home.”

Capt. Jason Ahring, a Leawood police spokesman, told the Johnson County Post the officer deserves credit for taking the extra time instead of driving on. Viewers who watched the clip noted one dog stayed with the owner while the other went looking for help.
