Heartwarming drone footage shows the moment two missing puppies were found huddling together under a tree.<br/><br/>Drone pilot John Watton was alerted to the missing cocker spaniels which slipped their leads on Sunday (31/3) afternoon.<br/><br/>Their distraught owner had been searching for her beloved pets for six hours but to no avail.<br/><br/>She sent John a Facebook message along with the dogs' last location in the Warwickshire countryside.<br/><br/>John, 50, sent his drone up and used thermal imaging technology to track the pups down.<br/> <br/>Just 15 minutes later, the heat-seeking technology picked the dogs up and they were spotted huddling together beneath a tree.<br/><br/>John passed on the details to their owner and kept the drone hovering overhead to <br/>keep track of the pups if they bolted off again.<br/><br/>Another clip shows their relieved owner bounding across the field to be reunited with her missing pets. <br/><br/>John said: “A local dog owner messaged me asking for drone assistance on Sunday.<br/><br/>“Her puppies had both been missing for approximately six hours and it was getting dark.<br/><br/>“I headed over and within 15 minutes the drone located both dogs sat hiding away underneath trees together.<br/><br/>“The owner and her friend were with me and I showed them on the map and screen exactly where they were.<br/><br/>“The drone kept an eye on things while they both followed the drone and located the two pups. <br/><br/>“It’s incredible how fast a search can be carried out using the drone’s thermal imaging capability. I’m relieved it was a happy ending.”
