Mountain Rescue Dog “Amy” finds a missing woman. The nocturnal search in the Pongau was successfully ended on Easter Monday around 4 o’clock in the morning.

The 53-year-old Pongauer was missing since Sunday evening. It was found in a forest on the “Austriaseberg” about 1100 meters above sea level in the municipal area of. “She was somewhat wounded and a bit cooled,” says Gerhard Kremser, district manager of the Pongau Mountain Rescue, who led the use of the mountain rescue at night.

Family members had warned the emergency services on Easter Sunday at 9.45 pm. Because the woman had not come home. A large -scale search has started. About 70 emergency services of the Mountain Rescue, the voluntary fire brigade, the Red Cross and the police, including police helicopters, participated.

All the third search success of “Amy”
The search area can be limited based on the location of the mobile phone. Finally, the Austrian Pinscher Bitcher Bitch “Amy” of Kapruner Bergretter Markus Stemberger felt the missing person behind a bunch of old branches around 4:00 am during the search, the bitch suddenly turned to the left and followed an old, overgrown path.

“I didn’t see her anymore. Then she barked strongly,” says Stemberger. “Amy” absolutely wanted to go to the “sparkling Heap”, so the dog handler threw his bitch on hope, and behind it was also the missing woman. After the first aid, they brought the mountain rescues to a forest path to the vehicle of the Mountain Rescue Service and rode with it on an asphalt road where the wounded was transferred to the Red Cross.

Proud of the young dog lady
It was already the third search success for “Amy”, although she is less than four years old. In January 2024 the bitch found a missing, deadly crashed ski coach in Saalfelden and in the summer of 2024 in Oberpinzgau a missing woman who crashed and was seriously injured.

Stemberger is not only proud of “Amy”, he also thanks the training team of the Mountain Rescue Dog Squadron and his family for the great support, because as a dog hander you have to invest a lot of time for training and training. Stemberger is looking forward to success “at what you live for”.
