/ Mom / Child / A 3 year old child suffering from autism found after fleeing from his home, his dogs watched over him
In Florida, a 3-year-old child with autism disappeared before being found a few hours later one kilometer from his home. Fortunately, his dogs had left with him.
A drama narrowly avoided. On June 3, Marshal, a 3-year-old boy with autism disorder, disappeared from his home in the city of Ponce de Leon, Florida (United States). The little boy escaped from his parents' supervision and left the house, reports WJHG. In a panic, his family directly contacted the police. They were all the more worried that Marshal could neither speak nor communicate. "We immediately imagined the worst scenarios", told his aunt to the local media.
The authorities quickly launched the search and did not scrimp on the means: they even asked for reinforcement to the police officers of the other counties as well as to the agents of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. It was finally a neighbor who found the child a kilometer from his home a few hours later. Little Marshal was safe. He was just wearing a diaper and didn't seem to be hurt. Most surprisingly, he was accompanied by two of his dogs, Buckwheat and Nala. The adorable little furry beasts seem to have watched over him for the duration of his escapade.
"His two dogs were with him. We are grateful that they somehow managed to guide him and kept him safe. "said a neighbor of the family. The county sheriff then posted a photo of the boy with the police who cared for him on his Facebook page. As we can see, the young Marshal got dirty during his little adventure. Fortunately, nothing bad happened to him. Surely thanks to his faithful doggies? This is what the mother seems to think. "They did their job", she said. Yet another proof that dogs are humans' best friends.
