Dogs are truly amazing, loyal creatures, and this just proves it. Thank goodness for this heroic pup!

That ol' dog is a true guardian angel!

This is a wonderful breed and he's an angel.

Dogs are truly a blessing. Give this wonderful dog some love from me.❤

[mcMerica]

Love those dogs! That breed loves to roam. I believe he was out and about when he came upon the boy. His breeding kicked in to guard the “livestock” and return him back to home base. The miracle is that the boy knew to follow him. ❤

Buford many hugs and so proud of you. I know you arent a huggy boy, your breed is amazing. How you found him without being part of the search is mind blowing.

Wow! What an amazing story. Praise Jesus!

Canines should've been on the search team from the beginning. That kid is really lucky to have wandered near a working dog like Buford.

Badass Buford deserves retirement and so many treats ❤️😭

[earlofmar]

That is not a just a dog, he is a guardian angel.

Buford is wondering what all the fuss is about...now, that's a hero.

How much do we love that this ranchers name is Dutton 😅

How's a little kid walk SEVEN MILES?

[jarrodpatterson]

No 2 year old could walk 7 miles . Its impossible. He was kidnapped and dropped off 7 miles away.

[sharonreilly]

Nevermind the terrain, how did the toddler get 7 miles away, in a super short amount of time?

[alaskansummertime]

How do you let a toddler get that far afield? The kid just followed a dog to the dogs home.

Bless this wonderful pup! He deserves an award for being a hero and lots of treats!

[vintagelady]

Dog is amazing---as most of them are for one reason or another. But I find it EXTREMELY difficult to believe that this kid walked 7 miles over rugged terrain all by himself---needs some investigation b/c I'd guess something else went on here.

Buford is a hero, who’s the best boy!! So happy he found the child.
