While PC Tammy Wood, of Derbyshire Constabulary, was talking to the 93-year-old about Toby, she helped reach an item that had fallen on the floor.
As she knelt down, she noticed the chestnut and white pooch staring back at her while lying quietly underneath the woman’s recliner.
PC Wood carefully freed Toby from underneath the chair and said he "appeared to be well – just hungry and thirsty".
The police force shared an adorable picture taken from PC Wood's bodycam showing Toby following her into the kitchen for a drink and some food.
PC Wood, from the police’s local Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “Both Toby and his owner appeared to be over the moon to be reunited, and it was clearly a huge relief for the woman.
"Her family, friends, and neighbours had all been out looking for Toby, but she was becoming ever more distressed as time went on believing he had managed to get out, and fearing the worst.
“Our pets are companions and become members of the family. I’m just very pleased that we were able to put the woman’s mind at rest and make sure her dog was safe.”
PC Wood made sure Toby was fed and watered before leaving the home and checked to see if the woman and her family needed any further support.
