“Dara, I have to share my story with you, we almost lived our worst nightmare! We lost our boys today, the last I saw of them was running through the gate to help Grandfather trim brush with Rosy hot on their heels. Except, Rick was in the garden, not the field. When they finished in the garden, Steph asked where the boys were and I pointed to the gate. They couldn’t find them! They drove the Ranger calling their names, all over the property with no response. I drove on our road stopped and talked to neighbors with no luck. Rick called the Sheriff’s department for assistance. We had the Sheriff deputies, a helicopter, fire department, first responders, neighbors, ambulance and the Department of Conservation department with their K-9 unit show up to help. The minister said it was good that the dog was with them because the search dog seemed to be locked on her scent. They finally found the 5 year old in the valley behind the house by himself. He was fine but said his little brother got stuck in the mud and told him goodbye so big brother went on his way! Rosy stayed with the little one, which surprised me because TC seems to be her buddy. When they finally found the 4 year old, he wasn’t answering their calls but Rosy responded with a bark! He is a very quiet boy and they probably wouldn’t have heard him if he was answering them. It was a 4 hour ordeal, they were 2 or 3 miles from home and I am so thankful for Rosy sticking with them.! This could have had a terrible ending, the boys are very comfortable in the woods and can walk long distances but they were lost! Thinking of what could have been (copperheads, rock ledges, lakes etc…) our prayers were answered. Rick tells me that Rosy is going to be important to our family and she just proved him right. How did she know the little one needed her? Bless her heart, she’s an angel with a fur coat! Thank you for such a wonderful puppy.”
