Little Riley Martin [also called Riley Graham in reports yesterday] spent the night cuddled with one of his beloved dogs as a major search was launched for the four-year-old this morning.

Four-year-old Riley, who has Down syndrome, and his three dogs were last seen at the family home in Short St, Nambucca Heads, at midday yesterday.

The boy was found sleeping with his dogs.

A NSW Police spokesman said Riley appeared to be in good health.

"It appears everything is going to be okay,'' he said this morning.

Riley's mum Bianca Graham was unable to describe her elation when she discovered her boy had been spotted.

"I feel like I'm the happiest I've ever been,'' she told Channel 10.

"This feels better than anything.

"He's been seen asleep with the dogs...I don't care about the dogs, they can go to the pound for all I care. As long as my Riley comes home.''

Earlier, police and volunteers searched the surrounding areas yesterday afternoon but were unsuccessful.

He disappeared from his Nambucca Heads home with his three dogs - a kelpie and two fox terriers - at midday on Wednesday.

His relieved mother Bianca Graham said news of her son being alive made her "the happiest I have ever felt''
