Here’s how the Channel 12 news in Phoenix began the story, Thursday night on the 10 o’clock news: “God sent that dog to rescue my son.” Words spoken by the 2-year-old boy’s father, Corey Allen, outside the family’s home on the west side of rural Seligman, Arizona. Corey Allen says he was working on the roof, Sarah Allen was inside with their one-year-old. And two-year-old Bodin Allen went outside to play. But when Bodin Allen’s mom called for him, he didn’t answer. He wasn’t there. And after an hour of frantic searching, as the sky darkened, the Allens called the Yavapai Sheriff’s Department and before long there were dozens of search-of-rescue volunteers and deputies searching the area. Helicopters with spotlights scoured the plateau, the pilots reporting two mountain lions prowling the territory. The search went on all night, and by morning the news of the missing boy had been announced by the Sheriff’s Department and broadcast by the local news, spread around by neighbors and radio and the Internet — so that a rancher named Scotty Dunton, seven long miles away in the backcountry to the west, had already heard before he got in his pickup and headed to town about 7:30 a.m. And saw his big old ranch dog, Buford the Anatolian Pyrenees, coming up the dirt driveway with a blond-headed toddler by his side. A blond-headed toddler in dirty pajamas, eyes red from crying and with a few scratches from the high-desert brush on one arm and his face, but otherwise alive and well.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/desertoracleSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy "National High Five Day"! Dish them out at work & at home! Looking like some rain and possible thunderstorms during the overnight into tomorrow morning. In the news this morning, the man who allegedly abducted Sophia Franklin is being extradited to Wisconsin after being arrested in Nebraska, Zoom went down for several hours yesterday, Fyre Fest 2 is officially "postponed", an in-home daycare worker in Trempealeau has been arrested on suspicion of child abuse, there was a gas leak at the Onalaska Middle school yesterday, and a new Brett Favre documentary coming to Netflix in May. In sports, the Brewers beat the Tigers yesterday afternoon for another series win, the Heat beat the Bulls and the Mavs beat the Kings last night in the NBA Play-In tourney, and a starting offensive tackle for the WI Badgers is out for the season with an ACL tear.

We let you know what's on TV tonight and we talked about some smart things to do with your tax refund(assuming you're getting one). Plus, a missing toddler who was found by a dog named Buford, and a local bookstore that got some much-needed help from some residents to help move to their new location. It's "Hypothetical Thursday", and Brian's question for Jean was: "If you could only watch movies or TV shows for the rest of your life, which would you choose?"

Office Cora joined us this morning to talk about what she's up to this weekend in the 715, and the allegedly smelly French tennis player responded to a request that she put on some deodorant.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe delicate balance between executive power and judicial oversight comes to a dramatic head as Judge James Boasberg delivers a rare ruling finding probable cause to hold Trump administration officials in criminal contempt. This landmark decision centers on the administration's willful disregard for court orders halting deportation flights to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act. Legal experts characterize such contempt findings against federal officials as "just about unheard of," highlighting the extraordinary nature of the judiciary's pushback against executive overreach.Meanwhile, the democratic disconnect grows increasingly apparent during Congressional recess as Republican lawmakers face their constituents in dramatically different town hall formats. Senator Chuck Grassley confronts direct questioning from Iowans demanding accountability, while Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene opts for a highly controlled environment where she openly mocks written questions from constituents she dismisses as "brainwashed." The stark contrast reveals the widening gulf between citizens seeking answers and representatives avoiding uncomfortable confrontations.Amidst these troubling political developments, a heartwarming story emerges from the Arizona desert where an Anatolian Pyrenees named Buford becomes an unlikely hero.
