• Calaveras 3-Year-Old Girl and Dog - 2008
EDSAR team members joined members from Calaveras SAR to assist in a multi-agency investigation on Saturday, March 29, 2008. The process went smoothly and was well-executed. Distances logged on foot did result in some sore body parts.
While this search was underway, Calaveras SO was advised about a missing 3-year-old child and family dog, in another part of the county. Calaveras SAR members diverted to this SAR, joined by some of our EDSAR members. Deputy Crawford reported that the child and dog were found 3-4 miles away from the PLS, in good condition. Weather was cool, company was great, and I was impressed with how far a 3-year-old would wander in an hour.

Excerpt from the Calaveras Enterprise
A 3-year-old girl wandered away from her home in Rail Road Flat last Saturday, but was found unharmed a few hours later, miles from where she started.
A helicopter on loan from the Sacramento Sheriff's Department alerted residents through a public address microphone to be on the lookout for the girl as the search and rescue operation was mounted. Trackers and three dogs were employed in the search.
