 A police dog helped track down an elderly couple who had fallen into a ditch

Cardiff (Wales): In almost one-and-half hours a police dog found a missing elderly couple with dementia. The canine sniffed a piece of bedding and tracked them down in a ditch.

Police began a search operation in the Haverfordwest area of Pembrokeshire in Wales but couldn't find the couple. But the dog Rey quickly found a piece of bedding and was able to track the scent into a field.
