A missing 74-year-old Etna man was found safe Monday afternoon after spending nearly 30 hours lost in the woods.

Game warden Michael Latti and his K9 Luna located Joseph Nolin about a mile from his house, deep in the woods at the edge of the Etna Bog.

Latti says he knew they were getting close based on a change in Luna’s behavior.

She then picked up a scent and led Latti to the missing man.

Nolin was unable to move and hypothermic after spending a night outdoors in temperatures that dipped below freezing.

Though unable to move, Nolin was alert and talkative.

Nolin said he wouldn’t have survived another night in the woods.

He was reported missing after he went into the woods Sunday morning to check on some game cameras.
