FWIW, we came down that trail around 3:00 on Friday. We saw a woman on a cell phone, who seemed very concerned about something, but she did not ask us any questions. I do not believe we met anyone who fits the description of the aforementioned hiker.

Ziggy and his handler, Robyn Millan, of Grantham, who are volunteers with New England K-9 Search and Rescue are really good, as are the other K-9 volunteers. Not to take anything away form human SAR teams, but the dogs really have an advantage on searches (although they cannot help carry litters).
 
I was with Ziggy and Robyn when we made the find. I am so grateful to be able to bring him home to his family. Ziggy was definitely on his game - he wasn't exactly sure what he was smelling, but he took us right to the spot once he figured it out.

Rest in peace, Daniel.
