A family in Florida is calling a bloodhound hero for finding their missing child. Seminole County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a missing 9-year-old boys. His mother said he has special needs and doesn’t understand fear. “Apparently he just walked straight back into the woods, into the trees,” said the boy’s mom, Stephanie Spears. “That really started to concern us, back in the woods, ’cause there are lakes and ditches and snakes, all kinds of dangerous things that he has no fear of.”
The Sheriff’s Office used a helicopter and Amber, a bloodhound, to look for the boy. Amber is 2 1/2 and just recently completed her tracking training. “It’s really neat that we can go out and protect and serve, and find lost little children. It’s an awesome job and I get to do it,” said Deputy John Locklin.
