This is the incredible moment a heroic K9 Mercury found a missing 85-year-old woman who was clinging to a tree on a steep Colorado ravine.
Greenwood Village Police Department Officer Austin Speer and his four-legged partner, Mercury, a German Shorthaired Pointer, went searching through the woods after they received a report from family members about the missing elderly woman.
Video shows Officer Speer holding onto a very long leash following Mercury's lead as the dog guided him through the grassy trail.
The dog was sniffing and traveling at a hurried pace, as the officer spoke to him: 'Good boy buddy. My merky bud.'
When the officer and Mercury located the woman, she had been partially keeled over. The officer said, 'good Duke. Hi Ma'am,' as Mercury was all smiles standing next to her.

The woman who was coherent said, 'Good.'
According to the woman's daughter, her mother had tried to climb the hill before she ran out of steam and was unable to move, and was lost for two hours.

'This is my mom and I am so grateful for Mercury and Officer Speer, the kind and professional dispatch gal I spoke with and all involved on this team effort to save my mom who was 'gassed out' after trying to climb this hill and unable to move,' she wrote.
'I had been searching for her for two hours and Mercury and officer Speer found her in 10 minutes: UNBELIEVABLE! It was like watching a Navy Seal extraction: I am so grateful to live in City of Greenwood Village Government.'
