(Boone, Iowa) – Sheriff’s officials in Boone County say their K9 team assisted in finding a man with dementia, Tuesday night. Authorities says K9 “Djanga,” at just 10 months old, and Deputy King located an elderly male with dementia who was frustrated, and walked into a standing corn field.

His family was unable to find him and he was presumably lost and/or disoriented. “Djanga,” authorities said, “Put her nose on the ground and tracked the gentleman guiding Dep. King right to him.” The Sheriff’s Office said “Very few dogs in the state of Iowa can do what our puppy just did at 10 months old. The Djanga/King duo is going to be a tremendous asset to Boone County. The sky is the limit with these two.”
