Brian Gray-Hicks likes to be active, and goes for daily walks near his home in Clinton.
“Our Brian usually goes for a walk everyday. Most days he’s goes in the mornings,” said his guardian Barbara Hicks.
But last Tuesday night, Brian, who has Down syndrome, went for a walk around 6 p.m. He didn’t come home at his expected time.
Barbara, his guardian since Brian was 18, called 9-1-1. He was found shortly thereafter, thanks to the small transmitter on his right arm.
When asked how he felt when the police came along, Brian said, “Better. A lot better.”
Brian, who is 49 years old, very hard of hearing, and largely non-verbal.
“They located him just in time. He had wandered onto some private property, and there were two dogs being aggressive with him. And he was very emotional and scared,” said Huron OPP Community Services Officer Craig Soldan.
