In a remarkable display of cross-border collaboration, a Luxembourg rescue dog successfully located a missing suicidal woman in Germany, marking the second such life-saving mission within a week for the Red Cross canine team.
The Luxembourg rescue dog squadron of the Red Cross was called into action to help locate a missing person in Argenbühl, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, on Tuesday. A 38-year-old woman had gone missing and was believed to be suicidal, which is why German authorities had requested the reinforcement.
In the early evening hours, Luxembourg rescue dog Joker, alongside his caretaker Patrick Marcellino, eventually found the missing woman unharmed in a field.
This was the second time in the span of just a week that a Luxembourg rescue dog successfully located a missing person, with a similar case recently unfolding in Belgium.
