Parenting is not easy – all parents know this. That’s right, good<\/em> parenting is hard work.\u00a0A good parent is someone who strives to make decisions in the best interest of the child.\u00a0What makes a great parent isn\u2019t only defined by the parent\u2019s actions, but also their intention.\u00a0A good parent doesn\u2019t have to be perfect. No one is perfect. No child\u00a0<\/strong>is perfect either. So, when 2-year-old\u00a0Charlee and her dog Penny went missing for nearly two days and emerged from the woods, search crews spent 48 hours looking for her.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the dog arrived home moments before Charlee was found by local resident Wayne. The family of Charlee have hailed Penny the <\/span>pitbull<\/span><\/span> a hero after keeping watch over the missing two-year-old while they frantically searched for her.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Charlee\u2019s Grandmother Beth stated that she\u2019s still amazed her granddaughter, who lives with her, is alive.\u00a0\u201cWhenever they told me that they had found Mo, Charlee, I was just outside of myself. I was just so happy,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Petting Penny, Beth stated, \u201cThis is our hero right here,\u201d and added that she believes Penny remained by Charlee\u2019s side the entire time she was missing.\u00a0\u201cWhen my dog didn\u2019t come home, and my baby wasn\u2019t home, she was not going to leave that baby until she got here,\u201d she said of the pit bull.\u00a0According to law enforcement officials, Penny made it home shortly before Charlee was found several hundred yards away, at a neighbor\u2019s house.\u00a0\u201cI can\u2019t even explain how happy that I am that this baby is home, because I love her more than anything in this world,\u201d Beth said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wayne, who found Charlee, stated that he\u2019d been on his couch praying for the little girl when he saw a blonde-haired girl in his backyard.\u00a0The happy reunion hit Brown in more ways than one.\u00a0\u201cMy little brother went missing,\u201d he said. \u201cHe had wandered away from the home and he had climbed three fences. They found him miles away from the house. It was actually my uncle that found him and he was dead.\u201d\u00a0After finding Charlee, Wayne gave her water and called 911. However, he still has lingering questions\u00a0\u201cThey\u2019ve been everywhere. They\u2019ve been all over this place, and how did they not find this child, and she just shows up where the search has been. How does that happen?\u201d he asked.\u00a0Charlee\u2019s family stated that she was in the hospital, but she was doing okay.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Parenting is not easy – all parents know this.
