A 76-year-old woman with dementia is
recovering in the hospital after wandering away from her home in the middle of
her night.
Rose Marie Hauler ended up blocks
away, curled up on the ground in someone's back yard, wearing pajamas. Hauler's
daughter Deanna Zwiesele says her mother is going to be okay.
Zwiesele was frantic when she woke
up and found the front door open.
"I thought I was living a
nightmare, I knew I had to find her," Zwiesele says.
She called police, who brought in a
tracking dog from the Macomb County Sheriff's department.
That dog, named Zeke, took a scent
from a fleece Rose Marie had worn that day and found the missing woman, who was
curled up on the ground near a fence.
"I blocked my ears when police
came to my door because I was so afraid she was dead, but they said she's
alive!," Zwiesele says.
