A Welsh mom and her baby who were missing for two days were found alive and well near a steep ravine in Dyfed Wales when a rookie German Shepherd mix dog named Max and his handler Dyfed-Powys Police Officer Peter Lloyd found the missing couple. What makes this story incredible is that Max who is two years of age was on his first mission to find missing persons after their relatives reported as missing. After the mother and her child were found safe and sound by the dog and his handler, they were taken to a local hospital for evaluation after they found alive and well after two days not being with their loved ones. What caused the mom and her baby to go missing from their loved ones is being investigated by the authorities at this time.

The german shepherd is really an intelligent dog, to me it is the most intelligent.

@Mike197602 you are right with the list. That is why I said TO ME it is the most intelligent.

I had two German Shepherds who sad to say are no longer with us. I loved them dearly.

Depending which list you read they are top 3 or top 5. I'd like to see Rottweilers used more as they are also very intelligent and very powerful.

Glad to hear this story has a happy ending. Do you know what they gave the dog (old clothing, etc.) so he could find the scent?

The police found the auto in the mountains which may have given the dog and his handler a clue where to find the mom and her child.

@Deepizzaguy Ah, they probably let the doggie sniff the car thoroughly.

If a dog is shown lots of love, they are your friend for life.

A sad story about missing persons usually do not have a happy end like this (that they were found alive). Dogs a really very helpful in terms of investigation.

Surely, they let the dog smell their things... I think that's how it works... Good job...
