A recognition ceremony was held for a deputy and his K-9 partner in North Carolina. They successfully tracked down a patient who had fled a hospital. The patient was found after the K-9 picked up a scent and followed it into the woods and across a field.

The deputy and K-9 were honored by the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office for their work. Their training allowed them to locate the patient quickly. Further details about the incident are available from the source, including the events that led to the patient's disappearance from the hospital.
