Bloodhounds have an unrivaled sense of smell with roughly 300 million scent receptors that allow them to follow trails that are days or even weeks old. Those adorable droopy ears and wrinkly skin also aid in trapping a scent around their nose. They are vital K9 members at many police departments to aid in searching for missing people. 

Even with all the technology today, there is nothing like the nose of bloodhound to find a trail and those missing. A bloodhound K9 named Cane with Manatee County Sheriff's Office proved that by finding two missing boys in a rural area in 10 minutes. 

Impressive to say the least. The hardworking dog put his nose to the ground and led his handler to the boys who were found safe in dense brush. Cane knows what a good boy he is and barked with excitement once he located the boys. 

The police department shared the happy story on Facebook along with a video of Cane at work. "When the search gets tough, sometimes it takes a nose like K9 Cane’s to get the job done," they wrote. "Deputies on the ground and our Aviation Unit had been searching for some time when Bloodhound K9 Cane picked up a scent. Within about 10 minutes, Cane led his handler to the boys, who were located in thick brush and safely recovered."

Cane has also been praised by followers who hope that he was properly rewarded with a special treat. He is loved by all. 

The post concluded with, "A great example of why we are grateful to have such a well-trained bloodhound team, ready when it matters most. Thanks to K9 Cane, his handler and other deputies for getting these boys home safely!"
