See The Joyful Moment Lost 2-Year-Old Is Reunited With Parents With Help From Man's Best Friend

SOMERS, NY — Good job, Essex, good job.

On Monday, around 11:34 a.m., a Westchester County Police Department K9 team responded to join law enforcement and emergency service agencies already searching for a 2-year-old child reported missing from Tractor Supply in Somers.

While the search spread out to the area surrounding the store, Westchester County Police Department K9 handler Paul Osterman, and his partner K9 Essex, began a track from outside the store entrance. Surprisingly, Essex led Officer Osterman right back into the store where the missing child was discovered between two displays of goods, camouflaged by the color of the packaging which matched the child's shirt, according to police.

"The child and parents were promptly reunited thanks to the quick sniffing Essex and her sharp-eyed handler," the Westchester County Police Department said in a statement on social media. "Job well done by the WCPD Canine Team and all the responding agencies. We wish our new friend and her family well."

Officials released footage of the dramatic adventure, and its happy ending.

The young girl was just a bit surprised to be looking face to face with Essex when she was discovered. But, the real excitement came when the youngster was reunited with her worried parents.
