A K-9 bloodhound that went missing during a training exercise had a heartwarming reunion with his handler.
The three-year-old runaway pup, Gunner, jerked away from his trainer and ran into the woods around 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon at Kings Mountain State Park Living History Farm in South Carolina, according to the York County Sheriff's Office.
Dozens of police officers in the area began to search for the wayward pup. The sheriff's office was assisted by members of the Gaston County Police Department and Cherokee County Sheriff's Office, dispatching ATVs and even a helicopter during the search.
Gunner was found Thursday morning and reunited with his handler. The York County Sheriff's Office said he was "cold, wet, and thirsty but in good health."
