WALES, UK — It's your first day at your new job. Maybe you're shadowing someone getting the lay of the land. Maybe your boss gives you something that isn't too crucial to do to ease you in. Two-year-old German Shepherd Max didn't get that!
According to local police in Wales, on Max's first day operational shift, he and his handler PC Peter Lloyd were crucial in tracking down a missing mother and her 1-year-old baby.
Officers say Max covered a lot of ground searching for the two, and in just an hour-and-a-half, he found them near a steep ravine on a mountainside.
Mom and baby were safe but cold, and police say it looked like they were out there for a "significant amount of time."
Max is a general-purpose dog, who will primarily be used for tracking and locating people and property. PC Lloyd joined the Dyfed-Powys Police dog section in February.
