Cascadia Command: International Knightly Order of St George

Timeline PhotosWood Buffalo RCMP were dispatched to a complaint of a missing 2-year-old in the early hours of March 18. In the middle of the night, the toddler had wandered away from his residence. Cst. Nyeste and PSD Harley were dispatched to the scene. The team immediately began tracking the child. The temperature was approximately -26 degrees Celsius at the time, and it was unknown at what time the child had left the residence. After a short distance, Harley located the boy who was not dressed for the weather. Cst. Nyeste could not see him as he was curled-up behind a planter on a porch. Harley tracked right up to the boy and began licking him in the face. The toddler was cold and handed over to EMS immediately. It is believed that there would not be any significant injuries as a result.

The speed and efficiency in which a police dog can track a person is incomparable to other means of searching. Teams such as Cst. Nyeste and Harley are effective in locating and apprehending violent offenders or in this case, locating a toddler who was in an extremely vulnerable situation. Harley is usually rewarded with a cheezburger when he apprehends a suspect, but in this case, a cheezburger was certainly in order.

Harley is a long-haired sable coat German Shepherd who turns 5-years-old next month. He was raised by an aspiring dog handler in Fort McMurray prior to entering the dog handler course with Cst Nyeste. This team has been posted to Fort McMurray ever since.
