The Thornton Police Department was glad to assist New Hampshire Fish and Game Conservation Officers and Campton-Thornton Fire Rescue during the response to an overdue hiker in Thornton.

We appreciate the coordinated efforts of everyone involved and are grateful for the dedicated first responders who worked together throughout the entire incident.

Thornton: On Tuesday the 22nd at 1:15 AM Conservation Officers were made aware of an overdue hiker from Johnson Brook Road in Thornton. A 68 year old Male had gone for a hike from his residence sometime on the 21st and had not returned as expected by family. With temperatures in the mid forties a rescue effort was organized. Conservation Officers who had just concluded the Owl’s Head carryout along with members of the Thornton Police Department, Campton/Thornton Fire Rescue, Plymouth Fire-Rescue, New England K-9, and the Upper Valley Wilderness Response Team responded to the area. A search of local trails and the wooded area around the residence commenced by 2:30 AM. Drones and canines were utilized during this search.

At 7:30 AM the missing man was located about a quarter of a mile from his residence by a canine from New England K-9. The missing man, identified as Michael Ramos, was uninjured and brought out to meet his family. Ramos was unaware anyone was looking for him and had planned an overnight stay in the woods. This rescue effort emphasizes the need to leave a detailed plan with someone.

The Hiker responsibility code advises that you are responsible for yourself, so be prepared to leave your plans. Tell someone where you are going, the trails you are hiking, when you’ll return and your emergency plans. For more information on the Hiker Responsibility Code visit www.hikesafe.com.

NH Fish and Game’s response for this rescue was paid for with monies from the NH Hike Safe Card and the Search & Rescue Fund. No hunting, fishing, or trapping license fees are used for search and rescue missions in NH.

*****UPDATE: FINN HAS BEEN REUNITED WITH HIS OWNER! *****

Before heading home, Finn enjoyed a refreshing swim in the river and took some time to explore the Sugar Shack. We have a feeling there may be a stack of pancakes—or at least a few treats—in this pup’s future! 🥞🐶

🐾 FOUND DOG 🐾

This dog was located near Thornton Central School and is currently hanging out safely at the Thornton Police Department while waiting for its owner.
