Nice Story

Every dog has its day. It's just that no one expected "Bear" to have a day like Wednesday.
Donnie Halpin, the volunteer who found three-year-old Joshua Childers Wednesday afternoon, said he had some help in locating the boy.
Halpin, a construction worker from Fredericktown, said he got lost from his own search party and then noticed two dogs sniffing around the ground, so he went over to investigate. That's when he found Childers, with the dogs standing guard.
The dogs, named 'Little Bill' and 'Bear,' were from the area. Their owner, Debbie Graham, said she noticed the dogs were missing Wednesday but did not think much of it.
Graham said her pups are rescue dogs. She's surprised they helped in a rescue of their own.
"Bear's not the smartest dog in the world, I've got to be honest and tell you that. But he's affectionate, good natured, you cannot make him mad, and he does love people," said Graham, who has a four-year-old of her own. "I'm a little bit surprised he found him, I'm not surprised he stayed with him once they found him, though."
A true miracle. The child had been lost for over 48 hours in deep woods. Rain had washed out his scent from the search dogs. The only clothing he had left was a t-shirt. Night time temperatures were in the 40's and more rain was expected. If it weren't for the 2 stray dogs that found him and stood guard over him he would have been coyote food.
