Police dog finds missing Florida toddler safe in woods after following scent from blanket

A K-9 named "Midnight," along with his handler, rescued a 3-year-old child who wandered a little too far from home, according to the DeLand Police Department.

Police said at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, officers received reports of a missing 3-year-old boy.

Using a blanket, Midnight was able to pick up the child's scent and lead them to the toddler, police say.

The boy was found unharmed and was returned safely to his family.

Officers gifted the little boy with a Teddy bear that was part of a recent donation to their department.

Police said K-9 Midnight is trained to search for narcotics and missing people.
