Guest guest Posted April 9, 2000 Report Share Posted April 9, 2000 Friday a 2 year old boy wandered off from home, into the woods with his puppy in a community around here. . He spent two nights outdoors with near-freezing temps wearing only shorts and a t-shirt, but today the search team found him alive! A fisherman had seen him and didn't give it any thought (was he nuts?) until he saw teh story on the news that night and called the police. Then the police went to the fishing spot and eventually found the boy in that area. They asked people over the TV to leave their lights on all night in the search area in case the boy wandered up to a house he wouldn't be afraid. I have been worried sick, praying he'd be found. they said another 8 hours and he would have died from hypothermia. He's expected to make a full recovery, and his puppy was still with him, probably what kept him warm enough to stay alive! GOOD DOG! Just a wake up call, them kids get away fast. Sure sobered me up concerning my little wandering bear cub! It's so easy to fall into a state of comfort and not pay attention as close as we need to. In public we watch them like hawks, but they can get lost just as quickly at home...and boy can they travel far and fast! I'm buying a bigger bell to wear. s.
