Dog finds and rescues toddler who spent night lost and alone in Arizona desert
Briefly

In Arizona, a rancher's dog named Buford has been celebrated for rescuing a missing two-year-old boy, Boden Allen, who wandered away from his home in Seligman. After spending nearly 16 hours in the desert alone, the boy was found by Buford, who guided him back to safety. The incident raised concerns due to mountain lion sightings in the area. The boy was reported to have followed a powerline from his house, leading to the rancher's property where he was discovered. The reunion with his parents was emotional and joyous as they were relieved to see him safe.
"It was a relief that he was alive. I was ecstatic that he was ok and that my dog found him," said rancher Scotty Dundon.
Scotty Dundon added, "[Buford] loves kids. I can imagine he wouldn't leave him if he found him," referring to his heroic dog.
