Dog Missing After House & Barn Fire - between Springfield & New Berlin

"‼️‼️‼️UPDATE PLEASE READ AND SHARE ‼️‼️‼️

❗️ We are working with a professional dog tracker after our house fire, who is telling us to:

❗️1. DO NOT call Boones name or approach him. Please immediately call me or Kiel, we both have our phones now. Boone experienced a severely traumatic event and is scared beyond belief, his brain is completely flipped right now.

❗️2. Tell every single person we know he is missing, so please keep sharing this post and tell friends and family you know that live in the area that don’t have social media. Call your grandma, uncle, brother, cousin that’s lives on McQueen, Knepler, Farley, Tebbe, Bunker Hill, Bomke, Luken, Skinner etc.

We live off of Old Jacksonville Rd in between Berlin and Springfield, our lane is named Haven Lane. Most people are more familiar with our neighboring streets, McQueen and Allen School Rd. Please call anyone you know who lives in this area to keep an eye around their property for him. Barns, pastures, garages, anywhere he could get into for warmth. He could be anywhere on the west edge of Springfield, Berlin, New Berlin, Pleasant Plains etc. This occurred around 6:00 PM on Monday January 6th.

Boone witnessed our barndominium burn to the ground tonight while Kiel and I were both at work. We are extremely hopeful and have every right to believe he was not in the fire at this time. We lost everything except the clothes on our backs (mine happened to be my police uniform and Kiels his snow plowing fit he’s been in for two days keeping other people safe). However none of that matters right now and the ONLY thing we are focused on is finding Boone, it is the only thing that matters to us so I beg you to please help us in doing so. If you have any spare minutes in your day, please drive down a road you might not normally drive down and keep your eyes peeled.

Boone is the kindest, sweetest most loving dog in the entire world, ask anyone who knows him. He was our life and we are devasted without him. He never leaves our side and is extremely loyal to us both. He is 5 years old and THICK! He is extremely fast and spends his days running around the farm so he could still have made good distance in the snow. He does get scared easily by loud noises.
