The rollover accident near Seminole, Oklahoma left the driver shaken but relatively unscathed aside from some cuts, bruises and broken bones. However, the back glass shattering sent the two dogs, Finn and Jack, bolting away from the scene in a panic. As ground searches by the owner and others proved fruitless, more creative solutions were required.
Drone in Oklahoma Finds Dog
Enter the Oklahoma Drone Recovery company and their aerial eyes in the sky. Launching their unmanned aircraft, the team was able to spot Finn fairly quickly nearby. Drone footage captured the heartwarming interaction as the owner called out and the dog responded by running right to them. “He’s perfectly fine…good boy, treats right now!” the owner can be heard saying in relief.
But with Jack still MIA, the mission was only half-accomplished. Hours later, just as doubts began creeping in about finding the second dog, another drone spotter made the reunion complete. Catching sight of Jack over a mile away, they were able to use the drone to monitor and coax the dog back with the owner’s voice until they were happily reunited as well.
Reunited At last
“It was just magical,” the owner said of that joyful moment of having both beloved pets accounted for and safe after such a stressful ordeal. The drone pilots credited with the success called it “miraculous” to be able to facilitate the reunions from the air.
While the accident left some scars, the owner preferred to see them as “tattoos with better stories.” And they’ve now got an indelible tale of how some modern technology, combined with perseverance and more than a little luck, brought their fur family back together after a very ruff day.
