When two-year-old Boden Allen went missing from his home in Seligman, Arizona, his family and local authorities launched a large-scale search across the rugged terrain. After a long, terrifying night, a rancher named Scotty Dunton discovered Boden on his property — thanks to his loyal dog Buford, a 6-year-old Anatolian Pyrenees who had found the sleeping child under a tree and guided him to safety. Buford is now being praised for his instinct and bravery, with many calling his actions life-saving.
Since the rescue, Buford has received an outpouring of gifts from around the world, including toys, treats, and his very own search-and-rescue vest. He’s even been named an honorary member of the Yavapai County Search and Rescue Team. Boden has since reunited with Buford, and his parents say he’s back to his energetic self — exploring the world just a little more closely watched.
