Two men who got lost¹ in the woods² in Ontario, Canada, have been rescued after placing a distressed call to 911³. A K-9 unit found them, and they were checked out at a local hospital and released, reports the National Post and Global News. Some footnotes:
- They didn't so much get lost as get stoned. Police say it was clear they were on something, but the 19-year-olds wouldn't reveal what it was. When found, police say they were "silently staring off into the sky."
- It wasn't so much "woods" as a local park, next to a high school and a busy road. One cop says it's "near impossible" to get lost there. It was also 6pm, and thus still daylight. The K-9 unit found them within 15 minutes.
- When asked for landmarks, the caller mentioned trees. When asked to shout for help to alert searchers, he just said "yeah," quietly. No charges were being filed.
