— When Abigail and Cecilia Bourg went missing at the end of November in the woods behind their home, their parents were frantic. Now, Artemis, the Bourg family dog, is being hailed a hero.
"I just start like running around the whole property — six acres — and that's when I called [my husband] and said, 'They're gone,'" Mary Bourg said. The 7- and 4-year-old girls had wandered more than a mile. When they got tired, Artemis allowed Abigail Bourg to lay on him.Mary Bourg said that when the search team got close, Artemis, "wasn't letting them by the girls."It was only after the girls were reunited with their parents that they learned Artemis was actually the one that got them lost.
"He kept running ahead of us. We were trying to follow him, but we couldn't keep up," Abigail Bourg said."He's got a free pass for a while," Justin Bourg said. "I won't be fussing at him for chewing up blankets and shoes."
