Man's best friend indeed! 'Hero' Louisiana dog protects two young girls lost in woods for four hours
FOLSOM, LOUISIANA: A family dog in Louisiana is being hailed as a hero after he guarded two girls for hours after the pair separated from their parents and went missing in the woods. Abigail, 7, and her four-year-old sister, Cecilia, suddenly disappeared in Folsom on Sunday, December 18, while they were taking a stroll with their parents but luckily the girls were accompanied by their golden retriever, Artemis.
"I just start like running around the whole six-acre property and that's when I called [my husband] and said, 'They're gone', the girls," the distraught mother, Mary Bourg, told CBS News, recalling the horrifying moment when she realized both of her daughters had disappeared. Local authorities and residents went on a four-hour-long quest to search for the young girls and were successfully able to find them after hearing the Bourg family dog, Artemis, bark.
