There, K-9 Remi was given a jacket the juvenile had worn earlier in the day to acquire a scent. K-9 Remi led officers through several city and residential blocks at which time she entered a thick brush area, where the juvenile was subsequently located, lying concealed and suffering from the weather's elements.

The post continued, "The juvenile was cared for and reunited with family."
