Overview

• The husband called 911 after his wife failed to return from a routine 10–15 minute walk and had been missing for over an hour in the Destin/Shalimar area.
• While searching, Deputy Devon Miller spotted the loose, leashed dog, asked “Where’s your mama?” and followed Eeyore to the woman lying on a sidewalk near a golf course.
• Paramedics transported the 86-year-old for evaluation, and officials have not provided further updates beyond describing a leg injury that was not life‑threatening.
• The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office released edited body‑camera footage to Facebook on Oct. 6, and the video quickly spread across national outlets and social media.
• In interviews published Wednesday, Miller said “Eeyore is the main hero” and that he “practically dragged me to her,” as the agency also noted her prior animal-rescue efforts.
