When you have children, you want to make sure that they are safe at all times. When a child goes missing, there is no feeling that's worse to a parent.

Parental instincts are extremely strong when it comes to protecting your children, so when something is out of your control you quickly begin to panic.

As told by the Inside Edition, Timberlyn Merritt is the mother of 3-year-old Remy. As a stay-at-home mom, she is always busy taking care of her family. Their 1-year-old Yorkie is usually with them all of the time. One beautiful day last summer, Timberlyn suddenly realized that Remy seemed to be missing.

As she realized her daughter had seemingly vanished, it was beginning to get dark. To make matters worse, the family lived right next to a very large and dense cornfield.  

"My heart was definitely racing," She said.

She quickly searched the area herself, calling for her daughter again and again. Unfortunately, she didn’t hear or see anything. She called the police to report her missing daughter before going back out into the dark cornfields. She walked through them shouting “Remy!” over and over again.

Timberlyn believed that their pet Yorkie, named Heath, had wandered off into the cornfield with Remy close behind. Word soon spread about the missing girl, and soon the entire farming community joined in on the search. More than 100 people showed up in the dark to look for the little girl. The search went on through the night. A search-and-rescue helicopter circled the area looking for Remy while police canines walked through the area.

"There are all kinds of wild animals, we hear Coyotes all the time," She explained. 

After 12 whole hours of searching, things were starting to look grim. Luckily, one of the police dogs suddenly barked. The police then heard a weaker bark, half a mile away from the home of the family. The police quickly let the dogs lead them to the area where they found Remy and her beloved Heath. She was fast asleep with her faithful dog right by her side.

"She told us he stayed all night with her out there," her mother said, " that little dog Heath is definitely a hero."
