A true good boy: rancher’s dog leads two-year-old Arizona child to safety

Toddler had wandered from his home in to mountain lion territory when Buford, out on his nightly patrol, found him

A two-year-old boy who spent a night alone in the Arizona wilderness was led to safety by a rancher's dog and was recovering safely at home with his family on Thursday.

The toddler, identified as Boden Allen, disappeared from his home in Seligman, Arizona, at around 5pm local time on Monday, about 100 miles south of the Grand Canyon national park, prompting a large search operation. He was wearing just a blue tank top and pajama pants at the time, the Yavapai county sheriff's office said in a missing person notice.
