A three-year-old boy, who went missing overnight after going to look for dinosaurs in a Highland forest, was found by a rescue dog yesterday, less than half a mile from where he had disappeared.
Cameron Munro was discovered in an area of dense woodland, by a collie called Rosie. The six-year-old dog, a member of the Search and Rescue Dog Association, raced back to her handler, Dave Riley, and barked until he followed her through the woodland to where Cameron was sitting on the roots of a fallen tree.
He had slept in the forest overnight as temperatures feel close to freezing. Mr. Riley, an experienced rescuer, said that he was "euphoric" at finding Cameron safe and well. "He didn't seem upset at all," Mr. Riley said. "I offered him another jacket to keep him warm and he told me, 'I've already got a jacket."
Flight Sergeant Al Sylvester, from Kinloss, who was part of the team of 34 Royal Air Force rescuers, said Cameron had been unconcerned by all the fuss. "He was perfectly fine. He wasn't hurt or upset. He was talking to himself about dinosaurs and he had been looking for dinosaurs in the woods when he went missing."
Mr. Sylvester said: "When he was first found he was a little cold.
He must have slept through the night. He was quite sheltered but
it's still incredible that he survived."
Cameron, who was dressed in corduroy trousers, a vest, a fleece and a denim jacket, curled into a ball and fell asleep. He found warmth on a carpet of leaves, partially sheltered by overhanging branches.
Michael Mulford, a spokesman for the RAF rescue team, said: "All the rescuers are absolutely delighted. It was an enormous task to find a very tiny scrap of human life in such a vast area."
Cameron was visiting the Falls of Shin, reputedly the best place in Scotland to see salmon leaping upstream, with his mother Jennifer and his younger sister Annie Rose, when he ran off into the woods at around 4.30 p.m. His mother ran after him, searching among the trees and calling his name, but she failed to find him and alerted the police. As dusk fell, more than 200 police officers, RAF rescuers, and local people began searching the area.
The party included Cameron's father Marcus, a warden on the Allandale Estate. After Rosie found Cameron at 8.30 a.m., he was taken to Raigmore Hospital at Inverness. Doctors gave him several plates of toast before he was allowed home.
Mrs. Munro said: "He loves going out for walks, chasing dinosaurs, and looking for frogs. He told us he saw dinosaurs while he was lost out in the woods, but he said he wasn't scared because he had his stick."
