Pet dog’s barking leads rescuers to missing Texas woman with dementia

Black labrador Max attracted volunteers who had been searching for Sherry Noppe, who had been missing for three days

A Texas woman who suffers from dementia and was missing for three days was found in the early hours of last Friday, bruised and dehydrated but safe, after her dog's barking helped rescuers track her down.

Sherry Noppe, 63, left her home in Houston, Texas last week, to take her black labrador, Max, for a stroll. The pair never returned.
