Deputies said the two-year-old lives on Stringtown Road in Hico and was found more than a mile away in the woods. They said the child was missing for more than an hour-and-a-half, until the department's bloodhounds helped find the child.

Sheriff Steve Kessler said the bloodhound quickly accomplished what might have taken a small army of searchers to accomplish.
