News and Reports

A 2-year-old reported missing in the Arizona high desert on Monday was found in part thanks to a local rancher’s dog: a big, fluffy Pyrenees named Buford.

Little Boden Allen wandered off his parents’ property in Seligman into mountain lion country at around 5:00 p.m. Monday evening. Yavapai County Search and Rescue conducted a 16-hour search long into Tuesday morning.

Ranger Scotty Dutton was surprised enough when he saw Buford wandering up a ranch track with little Boden in tow, but was even more surprised when the boy explained the ordeal he’d just gone through.
