PET RECOVERY

Lost Husky Found Just in Time


When a two-year-old husky snapped off its 20-foot lead and vanished before dawn, its owner feared the worst. After hours with no sign of the dog, the community rallied—posting on social media, distributing flyers, and contacting a local rescue expert known for setting traps. That’s when Dallas got the call.


Having worked similar cases before, Dallas was confident the husky hadn’t run off far—it was likely stuck. He drove an hour to the scene and began tracking, following faint chain marks into the woods. At first, he searched the wrong area. But trusting his instincts, Dallas doubled back and scanned a dense fence row with his drone.


Through a tiny break in the leaves, he spotted the husky—completely silent and tangled in brush nearly a quarter mile from home. Dogs in survival mode often go quiet, and this husky was no exception. Dallas dropped a GPS pin, guided the rescue team to the spot, and freed the exhausted pup.


The reunion between pup and owners was quite joyful.

Chocolate Lab Rescue

It was just another chaotic day of camper deliveries during Hurricane Helene relief when the phone rang with a new emergency—only this time, it wasn’t a storm victim. It was a Chocolate Lab.


Earlier that day, while a woman was bringing groceries into her house, her dog bolted through the open door and disappeared. Panic set in fast. Over 30 people launched a search using flashlights, coyote-hunting thermal scopes, and sheer determination. But the dog had vanished—injured, terrified, and silent.


The call came in at 11 p.m.—after a two-hour camper run and just before sleep. But there was no hesitation. With adrenaline over exhaustion, the responder hit the road and drove two and a half hours north, arriving around 1:30 a.m. Alongside the rural road, 20 people stood in the dark, eyes scanning fields. The road was spotted with blood—the only sign the Lab had even been there. Emergency vets were already on standby.


The thermal drone went up. Ten minutes later: contact.


Pinned at the edge of a field, tucked deep into the woods, was the Chocolate Lab. It had been silently hiding in fear, unseen by dozens of people who had unknowingly passed it all night. Even its owner had walked right by. Dallas calmly guided them in.


Carefully, they called the dog’s name. Slowly, its tail began to wag. Moments later, the trembling Lab stepped out and walked to its people. The blood? Just a chipped tooth. The rest? A miracle.


In ten minutes, what a small army couldn’t do in hours was accomplished from above. No injuries. No drama. Just one lucky dog, a thermal drone, and a late-night rescue that ended in tail wags and relief.


The Golden Retriever Rescue


It was a frigid February evening when the call came in—a golden retriever puppy had slipped away. One moment, the owner's mother had the leash in hand. The next, the dog was gone, racing into the cold with the leash still trailing behind.


The entire neighborhood sprang into action. People searched in the biting wind, temperatures hovering near zero, but the golden retriever had vanished. Hours passed. Still nothing. That’s when the call came to Dallas, known for finding the unfindable.


Without hesitation, he jumped in the truck and drove an hour and a half to the rural area. The drone was launched and the search expanded across frozen fields and wooded edges.


Then—success.

Tangled in a fencerow behind a distant farm, the golden retriever puppy was spotted. So the rescuers headed to the farmer’s house—waking him up after midnight—to ask for permission to retrieve the pup. The farmer agreed, and with a final sweep of the drone, they were off.


The reunion was something out of a movie. The golden retriever, free at last, bounded toward Dallas, tail wagging, ignoring the fact that he was a complete stranger.
