Missing Ga. Girl Found, Safe

RECTOR, Pa. (AP) -- A 12-year-old Georgia girl accompanied by her family's pet pit bull was found unharmed Friday at a home about four miles from a rocky area in a Pennsylvania state park where the two disappeared the night before.

Amber Nicole Swanson of Stephens County was visiting family in western Pennsylvania when she went with her brother, two of his friends and the dog to rugged and heavily wooded Laurel Mountain State Park. She and the black and white dog, Onyx, disappeared when the three men left the girl to climb some rocks.

State police Corporal Jeff Doman, said Amber and the dog appeared to have walked most of the night. Doman picked the girl up at the home and took her to her family. They stopped at a Burger King, and Amber got something to eat before tearfully reuniting with her family.

Scores of volunteers, search dogs and sheriff's deputies on horseback had combed the park, which is about 45 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, today trying to find the girl.
