Chibs is Home



When the I-75 shooting happened in my neck of the woods a couple of months ago, authorities sent thermal imaging drones over the Daniel Boone Forest to find the suspect. What they found were thousands upon thousands of deer, but no shooter, because he was already dead. But sometimes such search stories have a happy ending.

A golden retriever named Chibs went missing for more than two weeks. His family in Coventry, Rhode Island,  frantically searched for him, and enlisted the help of a drone service. Four K Videos not only has drones, but thermal imaging capability as well. Watch as a thermal imaging drone leads the search party to Chibs, who was hiding in the forest after being hit by a car. He had been gone for 16 days by then, but is now back in the arms of his loving family. This is only the last part of the search; you can see a 17-minute extended video of the thermal footage at Laughing Squid.
