An animal lover has been hailed a 'real-life superhero' for using her drone to save a lost dog's life - when she tracked her down four miles from home just minutes before a 'deadly' storm hit. Erica Hart abandoned her shopping trip when Jamie Hollinshead phoned her to say his rescue dog Hilda had bolted from their garden.
Dramatic drone footage shows the 33-year-old following the escaped schnauzer as she runs down a residential road in Thurnscoe and narrowly dodges an oncoming car. When the two-year-old pooch darted into a nearby field, Jamie tried to catch her but she fled further down the field and out of sight.
The drone operator then asked 43-year-old Jamie's wife Leah Hollinshead, 37, to close in on her and when she emerged from the bushes and called her over and the family was reunited. Leah has hailed Erica a 'real-life superhero' and believes Hilda could have been killed had she not been found before a thunderstorm hit minutes later.
