Sherry Noppe , a 63-year-old with early-onset dementia, took Max for a walk on Tuesday , May 2, 2022 through George Bush Park in Katy , Texas , just outside of Houston .

Sherry wandered off into the forest with Max and couldn’t find her way back out of the dense woods.

A rescue team was on the lookout for Noppe and Max for three days before they located them early Friday morning at 3 a.m. Max started barking, alerting authorities to their location.

Six in 10 people living with dementia will wander at least once.
