A FAMILY IN MAINE HAS BEEN REUNITED WITH THEIR DOG, ALL THANKS TO A COMPANY BASED RIGHT HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE COPE FAMILY OF FRANKLIN, MAINE, WAS RECENTLY OUT OF TOWN WHEN ONE OF THEIR DOGS DISAPPEARED WHILE A FAMILY MEMBER WAS WATCHING THEM. TWO DAYS PASSED AND THERE WAS STILL NO SIGN OF THEIR EIGHT MONTH OLD FRENCH BULLDOG, STORMY. SO THEY CALLED TWO ATTACK AIR OPS DRONE SERVICES BASED IN BARRINGTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WHICH SPECIALIZES IN ANIMAL SEARCHES. I GIVE THEM A TWO WAY RADIO. I HAVE A RADIO IN MY TRUCK, SO THE WHOLE TIME THEY’RE GOING OUT, I’M WATCHING FROM THE DRONE, BUT I’M COMMUNICATING WITH THEM VIA RADIO. THAT’S TO GET THEM TO STORMY. BUT THE OTHER THING IS, ONCE THEY’RE GETTING CLOSE, I’M COACHING THEM, ACTIVELY COACHING THEM ON THE WAY TO APPROACH THE DOG BECAUSE IT’S ONE THING TO FIND THE DOG, BUT WE NEED TO GET STORMY HOME. AND THEY DID. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT THERE ON VIDEO. STORMY WAS ACTUALLY FOUND ON A SMALL ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A SWAMP. MAKES YOU WONDER HOW SHE ENDED UP THERE. YEAH. THE OWNERS WERE ABLE TO GET A LEASH ON HER A FEW MINUTES AFTER SHE WAS FOUND. YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE THAT HAPPY REUNION AND HOW RELIEVED THEY ALL WERE. OH, LOOK AT THAT.
