A rescue dog named Dandi has successfully located a 62-year-old woman who had been missing for four days on Mount Maebong in Gangwon Province, South Korea. The dog, a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, was deployed to aid in the search by police.
Dandi's timely intervention proved crucial, as emergency workers were able to locate the woman just two and a half hours after Dandi's discovery. The woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, was found with a leg injury and exhibited signs of dehydration and exhaustion, though she was fully conscious.
The rugged terrain of the mountain presented a significant challenge for the rescue operation. In response, fire authorities dispatched a helicopter to aid in her safe evacuation. Approximately an hour and 24 minutes after Dandi found her, the woman was successfully transported to safety via ambulance.
