A one-year-old Golden Retriever named Meadow reunited with her loving family after going missing for over a week in Andes, N.Y. thanks to a compassionate stranger with a drone.
When the pup disappeared in a wooded area, her guardians, Gary and Debbie Morgan, appealed to social media for help finding her. And a licensed hiking guide named Brian James decided to join the community search.
Armed with his drone, James made the nearly 90-minute trip from Cairo to help.
“I’m realizing that [it] might be easier to see her from the air if we find her before snow [falls],” he said in a video while looking for Meadow.
James saw a white spot on his drone camera and found the puppy on the very same day he started searching. He rushed through the woods to retrieve her.
Thankfully, Meadow was unharmed. Ten days after vanishing, she finally went home.
“Everybody’s got the capability to help,” James told ABC’s World News Tonight when asked about the motivation behind his good deed. “You never know what will come of it.”
Thank you, James, for making the world a more compassionate place and reuniting a scared puppy with her caring forever family.
What’s New…
I love it — just Beautiful — and, in the nick of time — thank you to all who got the word out — thank you to all with the KNOW-HOW to find Meadow — with that DRONE, it was a miracle — THANK YOU.
What a novel way to find a lost dog. Wonderful story!
Thanku James. I am so glad that this pup was reunited with loving furever family.
Did the beast fess up to what possessed her to go missing? Hopefully the couple will never let her out of their sight again. Golden Retriever’s are sweet but not known for being too bright.
I’m so glad this poor pup is homed safe with her family. Thank you James you are a a blessing.
There are still among us some caring, kind, people that will go out of there way to help others, this renews my hope in Humanity ….
Please let’s put a stop to the wet markets and THE DOG AND CAT MEAT SLAUGHTERHOUSES…. NOT ANIMAL SHD DIE IN SUCH A HEI OUS MANNER!
I know we are not allowed to…but when I hear things that humans are doing to innocent animals…and children…I so wish we could go back to the days of “an eye for an eye…” then maybe people would think before they act !!
Great story. Thank you James, you made the Morgan’s so happy. In my eyes you’re a hero, a wonderful man. We need more compassionate people like you in this world.
Thank you for this uplifting and wonderful story.
