Daisy, the K9 sniffer dog, brought relief to a family in Sematan, Sarawak after reuniting them with their missing two-year-old boy yesterday (16 Feb).
According to Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) Sarawak Operations assistant director, Henderi Ardimansyah said that the victim was found safe at around 1 p.m. in the palm oil plantation area.
Henderi told Astro Awani that the boy is safe and healthy with no severe injuries.
Alone in the forest for 23 hours
The toddler Muhammad Rayyan Bujang Abdul Qayyum, was believed to have gone missing at around 2:05PM on Wednesday (15 Feb) around the forest near the quarry.
He was last seen by his mother playing outside the hut area as the paired waited for the return of his father from work.
