GASTONIA, N.C. — Shortly after officials said a Gastonia man was missing, a bloodhound tracked him down to a grocery store just a town over.
“Bo the Bloodhound” and his handler Sgt. David Rowland with the Gastonia Police Department were a part of the mission to find Thomas Lowery.

Lowery was considered missing around 9:30 a.m. Sunday. GPD alerted the public because he has medical complications and intellectual considerations that could endanger him if he wasn’t found.
