The Putnam County Sheriff's Office is touting the work of a K9 officer in helping to locate a man in crisis last Sunday.  Around 10pm Carmel Police asked for assistance in locating a  man who had made several threats to harm himself.  The man's vehicle was found abandoned near the intersection of Belden Road and Route 301.  A deputy and bloodhound-partner began a track there and followed the man’s scent, locating him  short distance away, concealed behind a rock wall.  He was approached without incident.
