Two-year-old Bowden Allen disappeared from his home in Seligman, Arizona, prompting a frantic search by his parents and authorities that involved over 40 rescuers and a Department of Public Safety helicopter. The toddler was missing for over 16 hours, with no sign of him as the sun set. However, a local rancher’s dog, Buford, led the rancher, Scotty Dunton, to Bowden, who was found sleeping under a tree on Dunton’s land 7 miles away from his home. Bowden had a few scratches on his arm but was otherwise unharmed. His parents, Cory and Sarah Allen, believe that it was a miracle that their son was found safe and credit Buford with rescuing him. Buford, an Anatolian Pyrenees, normally patrols the ranch and keeps away coyotes. Sarah described the ordeal as unreal and unbelievable, expressing gratitude for their son’s safe return. The couple had called in family and the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office for help with the search, but it was ultimately Buford who led them to Bowden, bringing an end to the terrifying experience and leading to a happy reunion for the family.
