GOSHEN, Mass. (AP) - A 10-year-old Massachusetts boy has been presented with a medal for finding a 4-year-old boy who got lost in the woods last month while playing with a puppy.

Mason Neveu was presented with a “Young Heroes” medal and a commendation on Tuesday, as well as a certificate of recognition and a commendation signed by state officials.

Mason, who is blind in one eye and deaf in one ear, heard the frightened cries of Colton Roberts and found the boy wandering about a half mile into the woods during the March 23 search.



Colton had gone missing near his family’s new home in Ashfield.
