The girl was reported missing at 4.07pm on October 10 by her mother. Authorities promptly started a large-scale rescue effort because of the child's 'age and the dropping temperatures.' The rescue operation - which involved more than 90 volunteers - took officials to the 'dense' woods.
That was where New England K-9 Search and Rescue volunteer Jeremy Corson and his 7-year-old German Shepherd dog Freyja sprung into action. Corson said to WHDH: 'I was out the door pretty much immediately when I heard "two-year-old".
'It's like go go go right out of the gate, so I basically pulled over, got the dog, and started running into the woods.'
The girl's shoes were found about two hours into the search, and the family dogs returned to their house moments later. However, the girl was still missing. Now, she was completely alone - with the temperature in Dorchester expected to drop into the 20s.
'On the second pass, the dog pulled us back to our previous pass and started investigating and started displaying that human scent behavior.'
His dog's 'incredible nose,' Corson wrote on social media, took him right to the 'scared but safe little girl who was ready for her bath and bedtime.' Corson revealed the toddler initially thought he was her father. He said her first first words were: 'I'm cold, I think I'm ready for a bath.'
