Puppies kept lost 3-year old Jaylynn Thorpe warm in the woods. by Pat Garcia

Another example of man's best friend's loyalty.

Jaylynn Thorpe, age 3, of Halifax County, Va., was found a half-mile from where he disappeared after wandering away from his baby sitter's house, Jaylynn's mother, Sarah Ingram said the dogs were with him when he was found.

Ingram said her son slept sandwiched between the two 12-week-old puppies, which officials say helped keep him warm through the 21-hour ordeal.

Jaylynn wandered away late Friday afternoon from his baby sitter, who is Ingram's niece.

"The dogs went with him," Ingram said. "He told me he left that yard going hunting and fishing."
