MONTGOMERY COUNTY —A Kansas game warden and K9 partner are being praised for their efforts to find a missing elderly woman in Montgomery County.

Just after 1p.m. Monday, the Montgomery County Sheriff requested Game Warden Austin and K-9 Kai to help locate a missing elderly woman who had wandered off in a remote section of property, according to a social media report from the Kansas Department of Parks and Wildlife Game Wardens.

With the heat index exceeding 90 degrees Kai was deployed in the area and within minutes a track was located. A few moments later Kai was able to locate the missing woman. Kai was rewarded with his favorite toy and a nap in the air conditioning.  The woman was given water and released to EMS.  The KDWP released no additional details.
