TWO young people who went missing in the Llangefni area were found safe and well after a search and rescue dog was called in to help.
SARDA Wales (Search and Rescue Dog Association Wales) was requested by Môn Search and Rescue at around 10am on Sunday, November 8, to assist with the search.
With the search area relatively small, search dog Barney and his handler John were deployed, as they were the nearest available team.
A statement from Search and Rescue Dog Association SARDA Wales said: "The search area was relatively small, so John and Barney were deployed, being the nearest available dog, while Dave and Chloe, and Amanda and Frodesley remained on standby in case the search was widened.

"Shortly after completing their thorough search of the area, the missing people were located safe and well in the town.
"Thank you to Môn SAR for providing a team member to assist John with navigation and the members of the public who played with Barney when he found them during the search.
"Barney is an open area search dog. He is trained to find any human scent and so often during searches for lost or missing people he will find other members of the public.
"In these cases, he’s done exactly what he’s been trained for so it is important that he is rewarded with some play with his favourite ball before continuing to search."
