Buford, dog who rescued 2-year-old boy lost in Arizona wilderness, is showered with gifts

Scotty Dunton, who owns the 6-year-old Anatolian Pyrenees, said gifts have been arriving at his doorstep since Boden Allen was rescued.

The dog that led a 2-year-old boy to safety after he spent a night alone in the Arizona wilderness last week is being praised for his heroism with an influx of gifts from strangers.

Scotty Dunton, who owns the 6-year-old Anatolian Pyrenees named Buford, said gifts have been arriving at his doorstep since Boden Allen’s rescue.

“Toys, chew toys, snacks, you name it, just a little bit of everything,” Dunton told NBC affiliate KPNX of Phoenix.

Dunton added that he has heard from people all over the world since his dog’s rescue mission and that Buford is now an honorary member of the Yavapai County Search and Rescue Team. The team even gave Buford a vest. Boden wandered off from his family’s home in Seligman on April 14. His father, Cory Allen, said he was working on the roof while his wife, Sarah Allen, tended to their 1-year-old child, KPNX has reported.

The couple called family members for help searching for Boden and eventually contacted the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office. More than 40 rescuers and a Department of Public Safety helicopter were brought in to assist.
