The pet-finding service is offered by retired New York State Police investigator Chad Tavernia:
Tavernia, 44, of Malone, picked up flying drones as a hobby in 2016. In December 2023, the retired State Police investigator bought a set of thermal imaging drones.
'I knew there was potential,' he said. 'I knew there would be some kind of use to find animals in the woods with a drone.' ...
In a little over a year, Tavernia has found 42 lost dogs and 11 other animals, including horses and cattle.
Tavernia has shared several videos of his successful rescues on Facebook, including a recent find of a lost beagle:

This is plainly a valued service for folks in upstate New York:
Great job, trooper!
