Puppies Save Toddler from Freezing
Three-year-old Jaylynn Thorp managed to sneak away from his babysitter with the intention of going hunting and fishing with his puppies.
He wound up getting lost for over 21 hours in freezing temperature. Hundreds of people searched for the boy, worried because he was not dressed warmly.
He was found in the woods, about a half a mile from where he wandered off. Bootsie and Dipstick, his two family puppies, were with him. Jaylynn told his mother that the puppies snuggled him to keep him warm. They watched over him and did not leave his side.
A hospital visit ensured that the young boy was fine, aside from an irregular heartbeat. He polished off cheeseburgers, soda, and ice cream.
