The hunter’s wife told police that her husband was tracking a deer and had been missing for approximately three hours, says the release. She heard him shoot several shots, indicating that he was lost.

 

With the help of K9-Loki from the police department’s Houghton Lake Post, the team located the lost hunter along the Au Sable River, which runs through the state’s northern Lower Peninsula.

The man was unharmed but “wet and cold,” according to the news release. He had fallen into the river three times.
