Blind Labrador dog is reunited with its owner with the help of a drone after going missing for three days
An 11-year-old Labrador that is completely blind went missing for a period of three days before being rescued by a drone on behalf of the search and rescue team at Drone to Home.
After going missing for three days, a blind Labrador senior dog was reunited with its family — thanks to a drone.
The 11-year-old Labrador, Molly, had disappeared from her home in the United Kingdom — leading the pup's family to call a search and rescue team, SWNS reported.
The U.K.-based charity, Drone to Home, responded to the call.

CEO James, the chief drone operator and instructor of Drone to Home, founded the organization in 2019.
The search and rescue charity is dedicated to reunited furry friends with their family members.
"Drone To Home was created out of a necessity to help more people find their beloved dogs," according to the charity's website.
