It didn’t really matter that ol’ Max was deaf. Or that his eyesight wasn’t very good.

The saga began in 2018 on a rainy April night in Queensland, Australia, when Aurora, 3, wandered off around 3 in the afternoon, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
The rugged Australia Bushland is not always hospitable, and the young girl was dressed in thin clothes. As soon as Aurora’s family realized the little girl was missing, a search party of more than 100 people including State Emergency Service volunteers, police and nearby residents assembled and set out to find her.
