The little pupper never left her side until rescuers found her!

Remy Elliot, 3, disappeared on Thursday near her home in Qulin, Missouri. She had wandered off at around 8 in the evening.

Police officers and over a hundred volunteers started looking for the toddler in the cornfields near the little girl’s home.

After 12 hours of searching for the little girl, she was finally found on Friday morning and she wasn’t alone.

Remy was with her Yorkshire Terrier, Fat Heath, who was with her the whole time.

Timber Merritt, the toddler’s mother, said, “I looked for her by myself thinking maybe she was just in the woods or somewhere where I just couldn’t see her,”

And I was calling for her and calling for her, and when she wasn’t calling back I realized, ‘I don’t think I’m going to find her on my own.’

So Timber called up her friends, family, and law enforcement to help her find her daughter. The search party grew to about 100 people and two helicopters were used to search for the toddler too.

John Copp was one of the first people to start helping Thursday night. He said “it was stressful and emotional,” looking for the lost 3-year-old. “We were all just walking back and forth from one end to the other just yelling her name. All the flashlights started dying and the sheriff’s office decided to call if for the night,” the family friend said.

Makayla Hardcastle was with the group searching in the cornfields. “The corn feels like razor blades cutting you, especially for a child. And you don’t hear well in the corn either, so when somebody is yelling your name you can hear them but you don’t know where it is coming from,” she said.

But it was Remy’s uncle, Quinlin, who found the child the next morning at around 8:30 curled up next to Fat Heath.

“She was definitely exhausted, hot, really sweaty and it took a while to drink anything,” said Remy’s mother. “She said she wasn’t scared because Fat Heath was there. If he wasn’t I think she would’ve been terrified.”

Fat Heath, you are a hero!
