Dog's Lassie moment helps locate lost boy
In Dubuque County a family dog named Margo guided responders to a missing two year old, Jack Kluesner, after he wandered into a cornfield near Prior Road between Dyversville and Farley. The dog’s barking led searchers to the boy about a quarter mile from home. The boy had followed a neighbor’s cows into the field and was found safe.
