The silence after calling your pet’s name is deafening. Every rustle in the brush sparks a surge of hope, only to collapse into disappointment when nothing appears. Losing a beloved animal—whether a playful dog, a curious cat, or even something as extraordinary as an escaped zebra—can feel like watching a piece of your heart slip into the unknown.

Losing a beloved pet or valuable livestock can be heartbreaking and stressful. Traditionally, searches relied on volunteers walking fields, calling names, and putting up flyers. But today, thermal drones are changing the game — giving rescuers an aerial advantage and a powerful new tool to spot animals quickly, safely, and even in the dark.
