Hero dog leads rescuers to mother with dementia who was lost in woods for three days

A family in Harris County, Texas, was extra thankful for their mom this Mother's Day after she went missing for three days in George Bush Park.

Sherry Noppe lives in a neighborhood that backs up to the 2,700-acre park, and though she has been diagnosed with dementia, the park was a deeply familiar place to her.

The last time she was seen before going missing was on surveillance video from Tuesday night, as she walked to the park with the family dog, Max, a black Labrador retriever.

When she didn't come home, the search was on. For three days and through horrible weather, strangers, family, friends and authorities searched for the woman.

They used drones, helicopters, ATVs and a K-9. The tracking dog picked up the woman's scent and the search teams turned off their vehicles to hear better.

That's when they heard Max barking. With no leash on, the loyal dog had stayed by Noppe's side until help arrived.
