A search team rescued a lost hiker near Brooklyn on Sunday morning after the hiker went missing in rugged terrain off of Smith Creek Road the day prior, the Pacific County Emergency Management Agency announced in a news release.
Two dog teams from German Shepherd Search Dogs of Washington led Sunday morning’s search, according to the agency.
The search and rescue team found the missing hiker about one hour into their search on Sunday.
“He had kept moving throughout the night and was discovered by hunters about 15 miles from where he had started,” said the Pacific County Emergency Management Agency in a news release. “He was cold and wet, but otherwise unharmed.”
The agency thanked the Pacific County Sheriff’s Office and German Shepherd Search Dogs of Washington “for all of their work to ensure a positive outcome for everyone involved.”
