A loyal family dog is being credited with keeping a lost 3-year-old boy safe and warm after he wandered away from home.

Carson Urness went missing late Monday evening from his family’s 2,000-acre farm in Cooperstown, N.D. Luckily, he had his golden retriever/German shepherd mix Cooper with him.

Courtney Urness, Carson’s mom, said nearly 200 people showed to search for the lost boy late into the night and early morning.
