Earlier this month the West Valley City police got a call just
before midnight. Nicole and her family were in town visiting relatives. She’d
just checked on the kids who were all in sleeping bags in the basement. Somehow
her young son Talon was not among them. All the adults frantically searched the
house, the garage and the yard: no Talon. Police arrived and did a thorough
search as well. They were just beginning to canvas the neighborhood when Beau –
a search and rescue dog – arrived on the scene. Beau was brought to the
basement so he could get Talon’s scent from his empty sleeping bag. Beau went straight
from there to Talon’s sister’s bag and sniffed at it. Beau began nudging a
small lump no one had noticed in the bottom of her bag. The bag was unzipped,
revealing Talon, curled up and fast asleep. I’m sure there are times when our
canine friends must think we’re pretty stupid.
