Philip on the news.

lilmissriss called me a few days ago to let me know that her dog, Nanuk, had run away from the family that is watching her while her husband is deployed and she's out of state. Nanuk is their only dog, and Philip has been actively searching for her these past several days. He's been to the house several times, calling for her, and hoping she would have tried to travel back home, but no luck. He's also gone to the Humane Society to search among the 'found' dogs (and he said that was heartbreaking).

But Nanuk is still missing.

Marissa contacted the local news station, and they agreed to run a feature on the missing dog. Marissa gave them our information, and for the past two days, we have had nonstop calls from the news station, reporters, tech guys, and more. Philip printed pictures for the reporter to display and use of Nanuk, and the website is sporting a family photograph I took for them last spring. The story aired last night. Some links for you:

Man's Best Friend Is Missing While The Owner Is Defending Our Country

Bellevue, NE -The past five days have been very difficult for the family of Sgt. Brian Woods, who is currently deployed overseas. While his wife is staying with family out of state, their dog ran away from the dog's baby-sitter. Sgt. Phillip Kleghorn is one of a handful of sergeants stationed at Offutt Air Force Base who has been looking for the Woods' dog named Nanuk.

There is a special story behind the dog. About five years ago, Sgt. Woods and his wife Marissa were stationed in Japan. They were both active in animal rescue there. That's when they rescued the abandoned dog. Nanuk took to the Woods family, and they adopted her and brought her 7,000 miles to the states to live with the family. The dog has been through enough, and now they are afraid something bad has happened. "Their greatest fear is that the dog will never be found. It's like a family member for Marissa, so it's like losing a kid, says Sgt. Kleghorn.

The dog weighs about 50 pounds, has a microchip, and is wearing red and silver tags around her neck.

If you happen to see this dog, please contact Sgt. Kleghorn at (402) 291-0619 or the Nebraska Humane Society at (402) 444-7800. Reported by Devon Patton, devon@action3news.com

As you can see, they've butchered Philip's name, and they also videotaped him in a few moments that he didn't realize (the angle taken from his sunglasses was while the cameraman had the equipment in his lap - sneaky!). As of this afternoon, I've gotten a few phone calls, but nothing that sounds terribly promising. Hopefully, Nanuk will turn up soon!
