Missing woman found in woods near Sundre after searching for lost dog

Jul 21, 2018 | 5:13 PM

A woman who went missing while searching for her dog in a forested area southwest of Sundre on Friday has been safely reunited with her family.

Sundre Mounties say RCMP Air Services, Sundre Search and Rescue and Red Deer Police Dog Service were all called in to assist with the search.

RCMP Air Services determined there were a number of bears in the area, as well as some cliff-like terrain that made searching in the darkness dangerous.

A small scale search on Friday evening failed to locate the woman so she spent the night outside on a ridge.
