Mercury, a K-9 with the Greenwood Village Police Department, is being recognized for his quick thinking and dedication after helping rescue an 85-year-old woman trapped in a Colorado ravine.

When the woman went missing and was unable to be seen from the road, Officer Austin Speer and his K-9 partner, Merc, were called in. Merc quickly picked up her scent and led Speer through the trees to locate the woman, who had been clinging to a tree for two hours.

Thanks to Merc’s remarkable tracking skills, the woman was safely rescued and brought to safety. This is just one example of the selfless work K-9 units do every day to keep our communities safe.

Thank you, Merc, for your courage and commitment! 🐶👮‍♂️
