PAGEDALE, Mo. — Pagedale Police Department announced on Saturday morning that 3-year-old Raider has been found safe.
The police dog went missing Wednesday around 11 p.m. from his handler’s backyard. The department said he was spooked after a tree fell nearby due to Wednesday’s storm.
“We are excited,” the department said. “Thanks to all the community support.”
Pagedale Police Chief Anthony Huckleberry said 3-year-old Raider was in his kennel in his handler’s backyard at about 11 p.m. Wednesday when he was spooked by a fallen tree and escaped. Officers believe he then became disoriented due to the weather.
Police said the 70-plus-pound dog, Raider, was wearing his police collar.
Within hours after he disappeared, two neighbors’ ring doorbell cameras caught the missing K-9 on video in Florissant at about midnight and 3 a.m. Thursday.
