Teachin'Mine Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Sheriff: Family dog kept missing SC boy warm ELGIN, S.C. – Authorities are crediting the family dog with keeping a missing 2-year-old South Carolina boy safe and warm as he spent a night outside. Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews says Tyler Jacobson was found with the dog behind a house across the street from his home Saturday morning. His mother reported Tyler missing Friday night after the boy left the room where the family was watching a movie and didn't return. Deputies used bloodhounds and a helicopter to search until after midnight but found nothing. Matthews says the family's part-Labrador retriever apparently found the boy and kept watch over him as temperatures dipped into the 40s. The woman who lives in the house where Tyler was found said she heard barking outside but ignored it until she heard crying, too. For those of you trying to convince someone that your family needs a dog, this might help. For someone trying hard not to allow a family dog, be forewarned that your opposition may use this as ammo. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachin'Mine Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 You know what I just realized? I could have just as well titled this thread "Bad dog". What's up with the bloodhound??? I mean across the street - come on! :lol: Might be time to consider retirement. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Very Cool Story! BTW - our two puppies are "helping" DD9 build a snow fort in the back yard today. The snowing is melting and rotten, so it's not working too well, but they are all having a good time. DD probably SHOULD be doing math, but heck, puppies are way more fun! More ammo for the "I wanna dog" crowd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
