“He’s barking, chirping at me a little bit, and then continues to follow me back to the front porch,” Thompson said.

Thompson decided to follow the dog, which led officers to a garage. Outside, they found the missing child sitting in the passenger seat of a car.

The boy was safely reunited with his family.

“Outstanding work by our officers, and a four-legged friend who reminded us that heroes come in all forms,” the department said in the post.
