NASHVILLE, Tennessee (WTVF) – As temperatures drop, a family is desperately looking for their dog.
Fergus is not your ordinary dog. The 200-kilogram Irish Woundhound would be easy to spot anywhere, and yet it has been gone over the weekend.
Mickey McKay, his wife and Fergus were stopped at the intersection of Franklin Road and Tyne Boulevard on Saturday night, when they were in the back and the car windows shattered. Fergus was evacuated from the car and landed on the road.
The video from the Dash Room shows Fergus limping from the crash to Judson Baptist Church.
“We lost sight of him and have been looking for him ever since,” said its owner McKay.
The family has had Fergus since he was 2 months old.
McKay and his wife are empty nests, but the joy that Fergus has filled the house.
“Fergus is a family member,” McKay said. “I caught him when he was a chick, and last night when I got home he felt so calm without him.”
McKay says Fergus is very friendly. If you see Fergus, approach him slowly, but he may be scared of the accident.
McKay and his wife suffered minor injuries from the accident, but said all their energy was focused on finding Fergus.
If you see him, contact McKay’s daughter, Meredith, at 203-858-9837. A reward is offered.
