NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) – As the temperature drops, a family is desperate for their dog.
Fergus is not just any dog. The 200lb Irish Wolfhound would be easy to spot anywhere, and yet he’s been missing since the weekend.
Mickey McKay, his wife and Fergus were detained at the intersection of Franklin Road and Tyne Boulevard on Saturday night when they stood at the rear and shattered their car windows. Fergus was thrown from the car and hit the road.
Dash camera video shows Fergus stumbling away from the crash towards Judson Baptist Church.
“We lost sight of him and have been looking for him ever since,” said owner McKay.
The family has had Fergus since he was 2 months old.
McKay and his wife are empty nesters, but the joy of Fergus filling the house.
“Fergus is a member of the family,” said McKay. ‘We got him when he was a puppy and when we got home last night it felt so quiet without him.’
McKay says Fergus is very friendly. If you see Fergus, approach him slowly, he may still fear the accident.
McKay and his wife sustained minor injuries in the accident, but they 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.
