She was uninjured, according to a social media post from the MSP.

Millie tracked a 0.33-mile scent trail from the girl’s home.

“Millie is only 10 months old, yet she’s already proving herself time and again with her dedication, sweet disposition, and incredible nose,” the post read. “We’re so proud of Millie and the team—here’s to many more successful missions!”
