 A grandad whose dog discovered an abandoned baby in a Birmingham park spoke about the amazing pet rescue and said: “We were just in the right place at the right time.” 
 
 Roger Wilday, 68, was walking German Shepherd Jade in Stechford when she inexplicably raced to bushes, then lay down next to what looked like a discarded carrier bag – and refused to return to him. She wouldn't come back so I had to go over and I saw the bag and then I heard a baby cry. Dad-of-four Roger raced to a friend’s nearby house and dialled 999, then rushed back to pick up the infant. I then had to show police officers where I found her.’’ 
 
 The little girl was taken to Heartlands Hospital where staff named her after hero pet Jade. Here's a later video showing more of her time in hospital 
 
 On Friday pictures and video were released of the six-pound baby , who was said to be “alert, happy and contented” as she continues to recover. "She’s doing well and should make a full recovery over the next couple of days – but of course what she really needs is to be in her mother’s arms. He cares about everyone.” 
 
 Jade is being monitored around the clock by paediatricians while police continue the search for her mother. Chief Inspector Ian Green, said: "It is fantastic news that baby Jade is recovering well in hospital - I’m told she’s very alert and a contented happy baby. Chief Insp Green, added: "Paediatricians have confirmed the baby was lucky to be found when she was as even just a few more hours exposed to the elements could have had fatal consequences. "Thankfully, we now know she’s safe and well – and our priority is very much on finding her mum to ensure her safety and to provide whatever support she needs. "We’re still keen to hear from witnesses – especially anyone who saw somebody with a carrier bag from The Entertainer toy shop – or anyone who could have information that will lead us to identify the mother.” 
 
 Anyone with information is urged to call police on 101.
– A 68-year-old British man was walking his dog in a Birmingham park last week when the German shepherd suddenly ran over to the bushes and refused to return. Owner Roger Wilday walked over to find her lying down next to what looked like trash ... but as he got closer, he realized it was actually a newborn infant. "I saw it move," Wilday tells the Birmingham Mail. "I thought it was a bag of kittens, but then I saw her little arms and a head, and the baby started to cry." The six-pound baby girl was brought to the hospital and named Jade, after the dog. She's "alert, happy, and contented" while recovering, and police are looking for her mother. Canine Jade "must have heard the baby crying as these dogs have very good hearing, plus she’s very keen on our grandchildren," Wilday says. "Whenever she hears their names she whimpers. She just loves kids." He and his wife are hoping they'll be allowed to see the little girl, who, police say, could have died had she been left outside even a few more hours. She was just a few days old when found, the Mirror notes.
