A young boy who recently became separated from his family in Mississippi was thankfully located safe and sound. But surprisingly, he wasn't alone.
As FOX 2 reported, Kh’amorion Taylor was found Thursday morning in St. Louis in the company of a stray pit bull who appears to have been guarding the youngster until he could be reunited with his family.
An unnamed neighbor was walking her dogs through the neighborhood when she found the boy walking around in his pajamas in the company of the protective pup.
“He looked well taken care of, he was very neat, very clean; he just didn’t have the shoes on,” the woman recalled to FOX 2.
“I knocked on the doors up and down the street," the woman said. "Knocked on the doors, no answers; no one who did answer, they didn’t recognize the child."
She spent hours trying desperately to reunite little Kh'amorion with his family, but her search was turning up zero results.
However, the situation wasn't quite as hopeless as it may have appeared.
The pair have since been reunited.
As the woman told the outlet, “It is important that we stick together, that we help each other, that we go back to the things that our grandparents and their community used to do."
