The article doesn't seem to indicate that there was an active search. It seems too much of a coincidence that the guy was out for a walk with a working search and rescue dog. I'm involved in the dog rescue community retrieving dogs from puppy mills and we tend to refer to our dogs as "rescue dogs".
