BEAR THE BLIND BULLY HAS BEEN FOUND !!!!
It's been a great week!! We were able to rescue three dogs but last nights rescue was the icing on the cake !!!!! I saw this post 6 days ago about Bear the blind dog who suffered from seizures and was on medication daily went missing in a split second while outside with his owners. Because it's a 2-hour drive for us I recommended Jer from Thermal drone services to go out to fly his drone in which he did that evening and also the following evening but bear was apparently hiding at that point where Jer could not see him anywhere. Another day or so went by when people started tagging us again and Karin Peoples sent us a message letting us know about Bear, we knew we just had to go and try to help Karin... she was a mess just knowing that her blind baby was out in the woods all alone, just talking with her on the phone she could barely stop crying to get the words out. The next day she had a scent tracking dog coming to see if they could figure out which direction Bear went which would help us get in the right direction with the drone yesterday . So when we arrived Karin and Vicki went out on a foot search to follow a creek bed thinking that he may have wandered down there because a lot of blind dogs will tend to navigate toward water but we did not find him and as we continued walking through the woods and out into a field we ran into a nasty hunter that motioned us to leave ...we went back to where Tracy was flying the drone and just waited hoping that she would be able to get that heat signal we were all praying for. As I was talking with the owner Tracy smacked me hard on the arm and said Vic look !!! Is this him ??? I looked at the dog and it had a collar on I said yes that's him !!!!!!! Once we got GPS coordinates the owners along with Vicki drove to the location which let me tell you was up a very treacherous power line up to a dry pond area. Tracy guided us in to let us know exactly where the dog was laying. Bear was very lethargic, very cold and very disoriented perhaps he may have had a seizure not too long ago because he hadn't been on his meds for 5 days he was very dehydrated and very hungry but other than that and pretty darn good shape !!! We brought our generator with us to recharge our batteries because we were prepared to stay there as long as we could last night and fly as long as we could in extended directions to just see if we could locate him and by the grace of God we were on our fifth battery and we decided we would branch out a little further in one direction toward that dry pond by gosh there he was !! Thank you God and I would like to thank our drone pilot Tracy for doing a remarkable job locating Bear. Thank you Jer for coming out so soon with your drone to try to locate him much appreciated !!! It was such a pleasure reuniting Karen and Blake with Bear, two people who love their animals as if they were their children . Welcome home handsome boy ❤️
