๐จ๐พ Heroic Dog Saves the Day! ๐พ๐จ
Meet Mossie, an incredible 6.5-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer and cherished FullStride chiropractic patient. ๐โจ
From the day Mossie was brought home from Emily and Rob MacKinnon's Stannyfield Kennel, sheโs been a nose-to-the-ground kind of gal. With a nose for adventure and a heart of gold, Mossie soon joined scent training classes with Kim Mitchell and the Peterborough County Noz-It Club and Scent Training and tracking classes from Susan Read through the Ontario Canine Wellness Centre.
Fenelon Falls was buzzing with worry this past Labour Day morning: An elderly neighbour had gone missing. ๐๐
Knowing Mossieโs skills, Kathy, her owner asked if they could join the search in an area where the neighbour used to gather clover for rabbits. With permission granted, they set off with Mossie in her harness, following her keen instincts.
Mossie led through the grass as the cool sunrise bathed the landscape. Suddenly, she stopped and turned towards the tall grass. Kathy called out their neighbourโs name, and Mossie darted into the grass. To everyones relief, Mossie found him 20 feet in, injured but conscious. Mossie gave him a reassuring kiss, and 911 was called. ๐๐
The OPP arrived swiftly, and the neighbour was taken to the hospital. Thankfully, he was checked out and released later that day! ๐๐ช
Labour Day 2024 turned out to be quite the day, with Mossie earning her stripes and treats from the OPP Dog team. ๐ช๐พ
The neighbour and his wife were so grateful they brought us a beautiful mum pot as a thank you. ๐ธ๐
Sometimes, heroes come with wagging tails. Thank you, Mossie, for saving the day! ๐
