After seeing a flyer about a missing golden retriever named Meadow, Brian James knew that if he used his drone to fly over the spot where the puppy was last seen, he had a chance of finding her.

Meadow became lost in the woods in Andes, New York, last month, and her owners, Gary and Debbie Morgan, quickly plastered flyers everywhere and spread the word online. That's how James learned about the search efforts and decided to get involved. "Everybody's got the capability to help," he told World News Tonight. "You never know what will come of it."
