Kyle Camp, 10-Year-Old With Down Syndrome Missing for 18 Hours: Puppies Saved His Life

10-year-old, Kyle Camp went missing for 18 hours and kept warm by his puppies' body heat by his Alabama home. Camp, who has Down Syndrome was reported missing by his parents after they searched in the woods for two hours.

About 150 people including the sheriff's department searched for the young boy. Desperate to find Camp, the State Trooper helicopter joined the search scanning the mile and a half long premier. The wooded area has two hunting locations but the police believed that the boy wouldn't have gone that far.

Around Wednesday morning the Camp's family dog (who's puppies were with the boy) began barking along a creek where Camp was wet and barefoot. According to the Examiner, people believe that Camp followed his puppies by the creek until he couldn't find his way back home.

One volunteer searcher, Jamie Swinney told WBRC News, "I heard the dogs barking again and followed him down there and started hollering for the puppies and I hollered for him and he hollered back. He was in the creek about a half a mile over the ridge."

Camp only had minor injuries, and his brother Chris Bailey thanked the searchers saying, "It was amazing how many people came together to look, because we couldn't have gotten it all on our own. It's just amazing the community is that close to each other," according to WBRC. 

Camp is now safe back home with his family.
