WATCH: Dennisrus Rex: The emu of Colorado Springs
On Friday morning, a local woman named Courtney Farrell was walking her dog, Jett, when Jett sniffed out the emu. Dennis was tangled and trapped under a tree across from an Amazon facility.
He was completely covered by the tree and likely wouldn't have been found if it wasn't for the German Shepard's sniffer.
Dennis was safely returned to his owners with a couple of scrapes and missing feathers.
