Arizona Rancher Details How His Hero Dog Protected a Missing 2-Year-Old Boy

On April 15, a two-year-old Arizona toddler was led to safety by a rancher's dog after the boy spent a night alone in the remote wilderness. Now, the rancher is opening up about his hero dog's good deed. According to the agency's press release, just before 5 p.m. on Monday, April 14, Yavapai County Sheriff's deputies received a report of a missing boy who "wandered" from his home in Seligman. The response, involving over 40 search and rescue members, ended after 16 hours when Bodin Allen appeared on Dunton's property. The child traveled approximately 7 miles from his home. During the search, a rescue helicopter spotted two mountain lions in the area where the boy had travelled.
