HAMILTON COUNTY, Ind. -- A missing man from Hamilton County is back with his family after he was found by a K-9.

The K-9, named Waldo, was brought in when police found the man's car near Potter's Bridge in Noblesville, but couldn't find the man.

The Hamilton County Sheriff's Department said Waldo picked up the man's scent from the vehicle and tracked him all the way to the banks of the river.

Police helped get the man to safety.

It's the second case in one week where the department's K-9 team has helped somebody out.
