10-year-old boy being called a hero after his hunch and persistence lead to finding fallen senior

HOWELL (WXYZ) - "She said she kept praying to the Blessed Mother and she just kept thinking.. if someone doesn't find me I'm going to be dead ," said Sandy St. Onge-Mitter about her mother who had slipped on some ice in her garage at night and prayed someone would find her in the bitter cold temperatures in time.

About an hour and a half later, 10-year-old Danny DiPietro and his dad were driving home from a hockey game and Danny spotted what he thought was a dog out of the corner of his eye.

"It was late at night and super cold out and their garage was open and something just didn't feel right," Danny told 7 Action News."It was late at night and super cold out and their garage was open and something just didn't feel right," Danny told 7 Action News.

Once he was home, Danny kept thinking something should be done about what he thought was a dog, so he asked his mom if she could go check it out.

Dawn DiPietro told her son there was no need to worry because no one would leave their dog outside in such cold temperatures. But Danny wouldn't let up. He wanted her to go look to make sure.

So, Dawn bundled up and took their dog for a walk by the condominiums where Danny said something just didn't seem right.

Halfway to the condos, Dawn could see someone on the ground of the open garage waving their hands.

"I was so scared, but happy she was alive," said Dawn.

Dawn raced back to her home with their dog, Bailey, to alert her husband and call 911.
