They say the girl was saved without injury after the dog tracked a scent over a third of a mile from the girl’s home.
Millie is a 10-month-old Maine State Police dog who officers say is “proving herself time and again with her dedication, sweet disposition, and incredible nose.”
“We’re so proud of Millie and the team—here’s to many more successful missions!” state police said in a statement.
The girl was rescued at 5:30 pm Friday.
