Watch this clip where a specialist pet rescue team uses a thermal drone to track down a missing dog in the middle of severe storm conditions, leading to an emotional reunion after two days.
Parker Mills from Canada recorded the intense rescue operation as Duke, a newly adopted dog, was located deep in forest trails after repeatedly evading capture while frightened and disoriented.
Parker said: "Duke, a newly adopted pup, bolted out of an open door at his new home.
"His owner searched in the pitch black that night, doing everything he could to follow and coax him but he was too scared to come."
Petsearchers was contacted, and Parker and Julia were on-site first thing the next morning.
After an extensive thermal drone search across multiple forests in North Vancouver with no luck, the team received a sighting near Ravenwoods.
They managed to get the drone up and soon located him running in and out of traffic on that busy road.
Then at 5 AM the following morning, his owners got a camera alert showing that Duke had made it all the way back home overnight.
They opened the door, but he bolted again into the darkness.
Duke came out of the trail, was gently coaxed to his owner, and finally gave in right into her arms.
Duke is now home safe and sound.
A user commented: “I just adore you guys! Thank goodness, another rescue, found your father's legacy is the most beautiful.”
