Dog leads police to missing boy

Police found a missing 6-year-old boy from Dickson, Tennessee after the child's dog led them to the area near the child. Caleb Walker was reported missing on Saturday after he wandered off from his home while playing outside.

The child, who is also autistic, was missing for almost six hours before he was located. Police said they found the child in a wooded area near the Walker's home after the family's dog, Milo showed them where the child was.



"We were coming up the hill and we saw the little Jack Russell and we knew he was supposed to be with him. And I got out and started looking about 30 yards passed where the little [Jack Russell] was. He was standing there shaking real bad," Sergeant Gill Wood with the Montgomery County K-9 Search and Rescue said.

He added, "We are just glad we found the little guy, with the extreme temperatures tonight we were scared it would turn out tragically." Walker's family was grateful the child returned home safely on Saturday night just before 10 p.m. Walker's grandmother said. Walker was taken to a local hospital as a precaution, but has since returned home with his family.
