The video says she was 2 MILES away.
Not 2 hours as the article states.

That’s a misprint in the text. Video says it was nearly two miles...still a fur piece for a 3-year-old.

Thanks. Yes, that’s a long way for a 3 yr old

Good dog?
Brownie likely led the little girl into danger into the wilderness. I’d think twice before leaving her alone again with that dog.

Wonderful story. Just my opinion but Brownie looks like a Pit mix (do I see Lab or Retriever in the DNA?). Good boy, Brownie... you kept that little one safe!
To: fwdude
I found a little girl one day that had wandered away from home and it was because the dog took off and she followed it. It very well could have been the dog’s fault.

Don't think we have a mix here. Lots of exp here with these types of dogs. To me, appears to be a classic Staffordshire Terrier type. IME, they tend to be most the loyal and family friendly of this type. There are some exceptions due to bad breeding, poor caretaking/abuse/social exposure, and other external factors, but the rule holds true broadly.
Not seeking to dredge up and relive wacky PB Type dogs wars here on FR, just sharing my experience in view of the nice story of the recovered safe-and-sound-child.
Too often these missing young child reports turn tragic. This was a rewarding read this am, I thought.
And not a hint of Politics!

Well, yes—certainly— leaving a 3 yo alone outdoors with an alpha dog who will likely lead said child around in its desired direction. No one advocates allowing a dog to walk a child away from home sans parental supervision. We have a parental issue here.

We have a parental issue here. Agreed. If you watch the news broadcast of the story, you'd see the parents look like OWS types. Mom has pierced eyebrows; punky looking. Dad looks like a grunge musician.
Before anyone protests here, YES you often CAN judge by appearances, when it comes down to how you CHOOSE to look.

you'd see the parents look like OWS types. I'm perilously close to sounding like an old man here(as I'm not-I'm 45) or snobbish, but these underclass ambassadors we see in this video are becoming normative...and has much broader implications for society. Disappointing.
They may not be reprobates, per se. Just demonstrably substandard citizens or limited, who will not be leading our country's resurgence.
