On December 6th, We tried to help a lady try to find her missing dogs. They’ve been gone for about 10 days, in an extremely rural / farming type of area. One of the dogs was wearing a GPS equipped collar, but it somehow fell off, was torn off, or was intentionally removed by someone.
The collar was recovered by the owner soon after they were declared missing. She has been searching on foot, but there are areas of fenced in fields / private property where she cannot gain access. We aren’t talking about flying over residential neighborhoods, by the way.
The weather had deteriorated over the past week, keeping us from flying earlier. We’ll fly over the area while recording video and letting her “tag along” by using my DJI goggles to watch the video live. We’ll be able to download the footage onto a computer afterwards to study it on a bigger screen.
We were unsuccessful in locating the 2 dogs, but here’s a short video made to document the effort.
