Praise…A Missing Boy Scout was found safe but disoriented:
Congrats to all of the people involved in the search for Michael including
Misha Marshall and her 2-year-old Shiloh shepherd called Gandalf who picked up the boy's scent about a mile from the camp site.
12-year-old Michael Auberry is re-cooperating after being rescued yesterday just before noon. Michael disappeared Saturday afternoon while camping with his Boy Scout troop at Doughton Park in Wilkes County
-The boy’s father said that Michael left his troop on Saturday to try and hitch-hike home…saying that he was ‘homesick’.
The boy's father had talked about one of Michael's favorite books when he was younger, titled "Hatchet" …a story about a boy whose plane crashes in the wilderness, and how the boy survives on his own.
One of Michael’s concerns…"He's worried about make-up work in Miss Self's class." Michael Auberry is a sixth-grader at Mendenhall Middle School.
