Missouri State Highway Patrol says that the girl's dog stayed with her all night.
A Yorkshire Terrier that stayed with a missing toddler through the night has proven yet again that a dog is indeed man's best friend. According to
KFVS, three-year-old Remy Elliot from Missouri, USA, went missing on Thursday night. The massive search for the toddler, spearheaded by her family and involving police personnel, volunteers and several aircrafts lasted almost 12 hours. Thankfully, Remy was found on Friday morning in a cornfield, her pet dog by her side. The dog, named Fat Heath, is now being hailed a hero and a very good boy on social media.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP), the young girl was reported missing around 8:30 pm on Thursday. About 12 hours ago, MSHP Troop E posted an updated on Twitter to say that she had been found. "Her dog stayed by her side all night," they wrote.
ABC News reports that other than mosquito bites, the young girl was unharmed.
She is back to her normal self now," said Timber Merritt, Remy's mom, to KFVS.
Here is how people on Twitter are praising Fat Heath:
