A search party of 200 volunteers, the fire department and police went on the hunt for the child. Dogs and a police helicopter also aided in the search.
"The dogs are very protective over all the kids," the boy's grandmother, Jerri Gertken, told Inside Edition. "She sat right next to him and she barked the whole time. It is completely, 'dog saves boy.'"
Hovering over the farmland, the pilot eventually picked up the “heat signature" that turned out to be Mason and the dogs. The kid had wandered about a quarter of a mile away from the backyard.
The chopper pilot directed searchers on the ground to the little boy who was found shivering and crying after being lost for three hours.
