I can say without a doubt without 2A TAC Air drone service out of Dover NH we would not have found Marvin. I asked for the best drone service and that’s what I got. Rob Russell could not have been any better. 7 hours into the search Marvin was spotted by the drone behind the senior apartments (right next to my field). We could see his coat and blue leash. We saw him moving and Rob said he hoped Marvin was hung up by the leash. He tacked Janelle and myself up with cameras, connecting us to the drone, radios and ziplock bags of bacon. Bacon and the drone staging area was graciously provided by Linda Smith and Omar Austin. Can not thank them enough. We went behind the senior apartments, over the river (Well the brook) and through the woods with Rob directing us all the way. Janelle, Marvin’s mom, was to be 20 feet in front of us. She was directed right to Marvin. When she approached Marvin she said he was backing away and was probably going to bolt. As instructed by Rob she immediately sat down. A few pieces of bacon thrown to him got his attention and Janelle was able to get him. Huge sigh of relief by all. She was instructed to clip a lead provided by Rob and hooked on to her camera harness. Precaution in case she tripped in the overgrown woods. Could not be anymore grateful to Rob and Team Marvin. With all the wildlife we saw, Marvin could have been a snack for one of them. Coyotes, fox, bear (momma and 3 cubs) deer, squirrels, otter, duck, more squirrels, all captured on camera within the town limits. Thanks everyone for sharing the posts and the sightings. Incredible ending for little Marvin and Janell and Gussie’s. Oh and more squirrels 🤦♀️🤷♀️😂. How many times did we zoom in and it was another squirrel??? Too many!
