Boyd Huppert, KARE-TV - SCHROEDER, Minn. - When Kyle Puelston felt the GoPro camera slip off the top of his head, his heart sank as deep as the Temperance River bottom.
Which is also where his head-strap and GoPro were headed.
"It's gone forever," he thought. "I'll never see it again."
After a year underwater, his GoPro proved him wrong.
"It's crazy," Puelston said.
Nearly a year to the day after Puelston lost the camera during a cliff dive, two brothers pulled it out of the river while snorkeling.
The GoPro was still dry inside its waterproof case.
Chris Flores took the camera home, though his brother actually pulled it out of the river.
"He found a ring, a pair of sunglasses and a GoPro," Flores said. "I found a skateboard and some construction debris, so I got the good end of the deal."
Flores - who didn't own a GoPro - was elated with his bounty, until he viewed the camera's media card and discovered videos Puelston had shot with his children.
Flores also found video that Pueltson - a sergeant with the Chisago County Sheriff's Department - had shot during SWAT training.
By still-framing a patch on a deputy's uniform, Flores was able to make out the words "Chisago County," which led him to Puelston, who was stunned to get the message.
"It's a testament to his character," said Puelston. "I've told this story to a couple of people and their first reaction is, 'Wow, I'd never do something like that. I would have just kept the camera.'"
Puelston didn't know it at the time, but Flores was being steered to do right thing by two powerful forces: his Christian faith and his youngest daughter, Morel.
Last year, at 4-months-old, Morel had a heart attack caused by a tumor in her left ventricle.
"It's all so fleeting, we're not guaranteed tomorrow," said Flores, who performed CPR on his daughter until the ambulance arrived at his families' Jordan home.
Heart surgery saved Morel, but her father couldn't watch those Puelston family videos without thinking of his daughter.
"If I would had one picture, one video, and I would have lost that - that would have been rough."
Puelston was so grateful to get the video back, he told Flores to keep the camera. He'd already purchased a new one anyway.
"I'm totally glad it happened now, it's an awesome story," Puelston said.
Flores agreed, as he clutched his healthy daughter, now approaching her second birthday.
"She's definitely going to be in some GoPro videos," he smiled. "She's the one that'll be jumping off the cliff."

Advertisement for Go Pro. Waterproof after being one year submerged in water.
Andrew Tran smart
Projecting a little maybe?
Its called a joke.
What about the battery life?
the battery was sitting for a year. Still was able to be charged, and view the footage. I'm buying a Go Pro now.
Can you imagine that? "Here's me swimming my family at the river. Oh here's another of me in SWAT training at work."
Yes
they have lives too
what about the sex tape too XD
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez lmfaoo
Thomas Howl get you a man who can do both
"Always remember, Frodo, the GoPro is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be found."
"Precious.."
Scamspam lul!
Hahaha, epic.
what's it got in its pocketses.
I'm done.
I jumped to the conclusion that the little girl had died and cried a little when they showed her alive. This is beautiful.
Just your typical, every day video of a 4-year-old girl jumping into a river followed by a SWAT breach and clear
Still doesnt get old.
A mildly interesting story at best.
But that reporter and his voice is too cheesey.
I like it. It's almost a nostalgic tone.
When you have small kids, these types of stories start affecting you more. You relate, and they warm your heart.
Like your life
for once a story that is extremely positive and proves there's good people out there, and people then complain. Guess people are happy when murders happen as it makes for a good news story...😔
For most of us, it is a heartwarming story with a positive message. Then there are the negative Nellies who'd prefer to bully blind handicapped children. Glad you're outnumbered...
I thought there was gonna be a river monster or something...
Gypsum lol
I don't really think that this particular video is click bait. it says what it is & thats what u got. this is an amazing & wonderful video about life & people...the man who found it & the man who got it back. it all meant something to them. I find it refreshing in times where people don't care anymore, that sum1 would act so kind & thoughtful. absolute great!! so no, I don't think "click bait" is at work here. just a good story like it says. thank u to the people in this world that still try to be helpful & truthful. it's rare anymore...❤
Deanna young I think we all misunderstood that when the GoPro was running, it would catch footage of an amazing monster or something.
proving monsters don't live in rivers
I'm just about to watch this and was thinking the same thing. thanks for spoiling it 👍 lol
imagine my shock to see an actual positive comment section. can't last forever
in one year i'll comment one to this thread.
James Perez's channel oh it didn't last long everybody wants to see the homemade porn lmao
Anyone think this was going to be a fast forward timelapse of it being underwater?
I doubt it would have storage to record a whole year xD
Nobody was thinking that Johnny
Me 😂
Haha yeah was expecting to see some crazy trip it took with wildlife and show us bears partying with deer and dancing in the woods. Animals getting drunk off fermented berry juice and throwing up in the woods. This was a good story though. Punches you in the feels a bit. The Animal party I think would have been a cool video though.
Me,I admit it
I remember seeing this video before, might have even commented on it already. But this is such an awesome happy ending story, its worth saying so again! Praise God the little child survived that heart attack! Such a wonderful ending in such a sad story world of today.
Aww that little girl was the cutest.
So glad she's ok.
nexx
Little girls have their daddies wrapped around their little finger from the moment of birth.
Disappointed that this video isn't a year long
I was waiting for a record fish... we all have dreams
What's worst is that RUclips only allows videos to be 24:00:00 long.
I'm happy his little girl lives, that's the best part of the story.
anthony shroyer
Definately. You can't just buy another beautiful baby girl!
+selfan4evr Yeah, you can.
RockLeeOfTheMounties - it won't be as special
+Pastel Unicorn Fine. MAKE another one, then.
RockLeeOfTheMounties 😂
The world needs many more stories like this. Thanks for the HEART WARMING feelings and the ear to ear smile.
Oh man, I'm tearing up over this. What a great story. :)
Passion Woodworking me too
The way the narrator was speaking I thought they were gonna find a new fish species or find a body of a person that went missing or something.
It appears you and I watch the same kind of TV shows
I'm so happy that little girl is alive and well 😃
She is a different child. The baby with the heartattack died.
Nope, they say "THAT little girl" meaning it's the same one
TurtlesCanFly they never said the little girl died, they just said she had a heart attack
There is a picture of the baby at 2:41 with bandages after her heart surgery. To put it bluntly they don't put bandages on dead babies and take their picture. So yes it's the same little girl
TurtlesCanFly umm now that's just sad:(she lived a good life:(r.i.p
519 people don't like this? Dafuq is wrong with you.
NK Blödmann people love bad news
NK Blödmann its mildly good news at best, but the misleading title made me dislike. Was expecting the GoPro to record some interesting stuff in the river but alas.
Well, I appreciate an honest, civil answer. Personally, I don't think it's misleading. But cheers for your reply.
NK Blödmann first world problems
There's dislikes on almost every RUclips video, why does it even matter?
When that baby girl said "hi" my heart melted
The way she says "daddy!" and smiles is heartwarming. :)
more proof of karma. he did the right thing and got a free GoPro
How is it karma?
Daef Streok
The man did something good and was given something good in return. It's an example of good karma, if you believe in that sort of thing.
Oh yeah karma does not just happen to bad things, thank you!
Not really, even if he didnt give the memory card back, he would still have th gopro...
Thebigdady: True, but he would also feel bad having known that the cop dude lost his family footage. Now he has the go pro and his mind is at ease
Glad to see that there is still some good people out there👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
There are many more good people than bad. They just only show us the bad people. Ironically many of them watch the news to see other people having a shittier day than themselves
+Rob LeRoux very true bro👍🏻
axenos2004 rare
John Shepard it's obvious what side of the fence you are on with that derogatory comment. Have a nice day!😀
With all this blaming aside, that was a nice story on both sides. It is nice to see a good story but sometimes you might be on the other side of the fence for what ever reason but that don't always mean that you are a bad perdon. Have a great day guy and like Rodney King once said, "can't we all just get along".
This story brings so much joy to our hearts! Thank you for sharing.
+GoPro HI GOPRO.
+GoPro please send both parties your latest and greatest. They certainly deserve it !!!
go pro
Gro po
thanks lebron
From a news photog/editor, this is one of the more compelling stories i have seen in quite a while. Simple, yet an awesome story line executed very well technically. The shooting was thoughtful and the editing pace and timing was superb. If i were an awards judge this would be in the running.
That water look like Jack Daniel's
SHOOTR Shhhh it's a secret.
.
@@Thatguy-cf9qj rip kobe bryant
"Soon my daughter will be jumping off the cliff"...... is no one else going to say anything about that
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that.
I assume you didn't watch the video to understand what he ment by that.
N A Santiago He was joking...
as in the cliff that was above the water.. ?
"Push me to the edge, all my friends are dead.." 🥀🖤🦇™
not gonna lie i was expecting some sea monster thingy but this was 10 times better
same here :)
or at least some cool wildlife!
Sea monster wouldve been cooler but this is cuter
I'm surprised go pro didn't sponsor these 2 guys.
1975acidburn ikr lol
1975acidburn i'm 99% sure it's a fake story and it's an advetistment for GoPro.
In a world where some are determined to spead negativity and keep us divided, I love positive news uniting people and heartwarming stories. This is one of them.
My name is GoPro, and this is my story
Kiarnii Miller Lmaoo
My name is Conner I'm the Android sent by Cyberlife
OH MY GOD 😂
This is what RUclips needs more of. Heart warming happy stories
No we need baby corpses
lmao the way the baby says hi, so cute
Gesichtlos Mädchen ikr it melted my heart ❤️
Gesichtlos Mädchen she's definitely a cutie . When I hear about sick kids like that it destroys me . Having a 5 year old daughter myself I honestly don't know what I would do if I was in the same shoes . My daughter makes me feel like I can accomplish anything in this world . I would give my life to any child in that situation if it could be turned . Not even a split second of a thought .
Man decides not to steal lost GoPro with sentimental film. What a story
OmG what a rollercoaster of emotions! I'm sitting here crying, thinking the little girl died...then crying again, with joy, to find out she's ok! Whomever produced this news segment needs an Emmy! GEEZ!
The little girl is so cute at the end with the classic line "hi" 😁💜 heartwarming
This made my day knowing there are still people out there who care.
lmao jesus i thought they all died or something
I thought the girl died! Psyched out so hard!
Joanna Winters I thought the baby did too
Me too! Evil journalists playing for suspense. >_
He said she had a heart attack, didn't say she died of a heart attack.
That told me she was still alive.
it wasnt untill i read this comment i realised that was the same kid, i thought the girl died and they got a new one lol
Carly Guppy 'got a new one' sounds like they went down to the corner shop and picked one up hahah
Who else felt like they was drowning when the GoPro got lost 😂
I know this video is a few years old, but it's still just as touching. It's truly awesome that there's still people out there that will do what's right.
With all the evil these days it's wonderful to run across a great story like this. Gives me hope yet for the human race!
My faith in humanity has been restored
Oren Zernov
then you watch the news, and is all fucked up again...
DIZAZZO So true
Oren Zernov why?
Oren Zernov fpr real brp
Oren Zernov then u move onto the next video and lose faith in humanity again lol
What a lovely story, I'm glad they got there memories back and I'm glad that his little girl didn't die.
It almost seems like Fate insisted these two families meet and become friends. How awesome a "how we met" story they have!
The little girls "hi" is just SO amazing! Im glad she is doing well.
The Feels are strong with this one.
Nice to know there are still good people left on this planet of turmoil.
Most people should be killed because they're bad
Majs that is how you become Hitler lol. You assume most people are bad and you kill them. Instead, why not teach them the good in life? :D
Cowboy4737 this doesn't make anyone good, all he did was return his SD card, it's not like he donated or helped people in need, they both live pretty good yet they contribute nothing, you should reevaluate your sense of kindness.
Rick DLC,Really??? the footage touched him in a way that he went out of his way to return the camera & footage, The camera owner said to return the memory card and keep the camera. Most people would have just kept it. In my eyes that's a honest good hearted person,Your opinion is irrelevant to me.
Cowboy4737 it touched him because of his daughter's heart attack, what if she hadn't had her heart attack, he wouldn't have felt anything and kept it for himself, see how much of a good person he is?
"Hi"
[heart melts]
Your heart melts?? WTH What the Hay??...
..that's still-- "Hi" --Isn't done... lol
I'm so grateful for this act if humanity, integrity and kindness.
Awesome and uplifting story. Proof that there are still good, caring, and kindhearted people still out there.
Awesome chapter of one's life!!! I'm praying for the Baby to be healed right now. Lord, as sickness has invaded this little one's world, I stand by watching and feeling helpless. But Lord, I am reminded that I am not helpless but powerful in prayer.
JOHN PATRICK CARL R SARSUELO pretty sure the baby is okay, and I'm also pretty sure the bible tells you to pray in secret
What a great story! Faith in humanity restored for the day
Why are people in the comment so mean? No seriously I don't understand.
Your new here, welcome to the internet. Beware of the trolls.
Don't you mean *You're.... Oh god! I'm one of them... *Shoots self
xXMinniNinJaXx because it's probabl a fake story to advertise GoPro.
Tamás Viola Your right man and don't get me started on those moon landings amirite
DJ OakeyDoakey Don't forget that Dinosaurs were faked too, the illuminati faked Dinosaur bones to discourage time travel. It's all just one big conspiracy man.
God bless them and you all xx
Growing up in the 50's and 60's we had such a great time. All in our hearts and memories.. Not pictures like today for the young ones. Time at the beach, building treehouses, walks near the creeks and ponds. Now I take lots of pictures to remember the times. Often wish I had taken more pictures back then. But didn't have a camera like today. Beautiful account.
idc about THEIR story, what did the go pro film underwater??
Kotarian lots of water
Two fish as well apparently.
They said it only stayed on for half an hour
Katachuu Maybe the storage filled up?
I have a GoPRo and can confirm this, the battery does not really last long. You can get 45 mins if youre lucky
That's awesome, shows everyone hasn't lost their love & compassion! ❤️😍
I loved it! And I'm not ashamed of being a sucker.
ain't ashamed to fart, neither, but still prefer to do it, when no one's around.
me neither, a. dubitante. i will suck anything.
"Hi" brought a humongous smile to my face. (I have to stop chopping onions) I have a 31-month-old little baby great grandson and seeing the picture of that little baby broke my heart. I'm so glad she's back to good health, and I hope she's acting out her terrible twos, lol.
This makes me feel warm inside
Dev-ON Hewett change your diaper, man.. i'm just kidding 😆
You would be a reptile otherwise
Great story. That's awesome. Hope that little girl grows up healthy.
When there's POV porn on your lost GoPro
It is now at 72 so I had to downvote it.

I was expecting some cool stuff in the water, instead it was a nice story. Not disappointed.
How could people dislike this video? That was such a wonderful story.
Maybe they lost their Gopro and never found it, may their hearts rest in peace
That hurr durr narrator
@AmericanSicilian girl Thank you. I'm going to accept your answer as *the* answer, and feel better about people. Loving that you took the time to offer this.
I was going to say the same thing but AmericanSicilian girl. This was a great story.
TowMan127 It's not the video thT they dislike. Some people dislike the video when youtube kept playing the ads but not the video itself.
The world needs more people like this.
sometimes... People are so amazing! God bless this man.
this to me makes the world a better place ... fantastic .
I lost my GoPro Hero2 in a similar accident in the Wisconsin River near the Wiscosnsin Dells. If anyone finds it please keep the camera and send me the SD card lol
Jesse Ochoa I'll send you thiSD
Jesse Ochoa I love how this comment ends.with a lol
Not fair, this video should have come with a warning.
I thought of myself as a rather hard type of bloke but this brought a tear to my eye.
I sincerely hope and pray that both of those blokes and their families and loved ones, have long, healthy, happy and blessed lives filled with joy.
May the Lord watch over and protect them all.
Bob. Australia.
heart warming, its good to know there's decent honest people out there
faith to humanity restored.

What a great guy... and glad your daughter is ok my man!!! #Awesome
Add some emotional music and you have the next go pro commercial
Very touching story . That little baby is so cute and I love her saying "hi!"
Storys like this, reassure ones hope for human kindness and community.
Why are there people that have disliked this video?
kuddos need more good peoples in this messed up world now
Hey it could have been stranger: "oh, and here's some footage of me storming Osama Bin-Laden's hideout..."
Once in a while, you still see a nice story on the news that restores your faith in mankind. We sure could use more of them!
This is amazing. Someone was kind enough to actually try and get a hold of the owner and give them back those memories. Family is everything. Maybe not in some cases but in the end even the ones your close with can be considered family 😊
awesome story :)
wtf 9 likes
For sure there were unmentioned "home videos"...
What a wonderful guy!!!
awesome story. Its nice to have some good people still out there teaching their children the right way to live your life.
LOVE THESE KINDS OF STORIES...SO UPLIFTING KNOWING THAT THERE IS STILL HUMANITY OUT THERE SOMEWHERE!
such an awesome positive story
people being kind and compassionate. Love this video.
Thats a dumbass thought
Cool story but can we see the footage shot underwater???
Stephen Troup didn’t you see the mermaid?
Stephen Troup It said it filmed for 30 minutes
Videos like this just give me a little hope for humanity.
6'4" , 280 lb construction worker crying like a baby. Love it and praying for little girl.
Damn, I'm considered a heartless bastard because I really don't do emotions (more logic/analytical) but I'll be damned if this didn't touch me. Sniff.
Unbelievable how long & deep it was underwater
1:10 I literally thought it was some random octopus somehow in a river for a split second.
3:32 😫😭 “daddy” his little girl melts my heart awh.
That is such an Amazing Video and an amazing story. My Heart goes out to the family of the little girl, I hope all is good. I am 34 with Heart Disease and this video truly touched me. The guy that tracked down the original owner you are a true inspiration and a ray of hope that there is still good in this world, Keep being a Good Dude for yourself and for that adorable little girl (blessing) you have.
Sounded like he was going to keep it until he saw the video......
Christopher Smith lol, right ! 😂
true, but without the video he would of had no idea where to start looking. There is not a statewide lost and found.
Christopher Smith who wouldnt? Its difficult to trace a camera back.
Christopher Smith right.
until he Saw It was A Chicago swats Gopro.lol
Good People are every where... Such a nice story
Now _THAT_ is how to tell a story.
Oh no... this poor girl. I can't believe this little darling has to go through so much pain. God bless her and her family!
Something similar happened to me. I was white water rafting with my family only a week after my honeymoon with my husband. None of the photos from the honeymoon were back up yet. The tour guide wanted us to do some kind of trust fall but I slammed into the raft and it knocked the GoPro off and down into the river. These strangers were on the shore and lived in the area and saw where it fell in- 40 feet deep! Hours later, went snorkeling and miraculously found it, still recording and perfectly safe! I was so happy to have found all our pictures!
