There have been multiple Facebook posts from the time Tucker went missing to potential sightings of this poor sweetie. Some social posts have been shared over 800 times. Here is how Tucker went missing:

Tucker went missing the evening of December 24th. He's from a rural area south of Humboldt and was staying with a family member in Hartford while his owner was out of town. He was let outside with their other dogs and he ran off.

Tucker could still be somewhere in the Hartford area. Some reports say he was seen North of Crooks near Hartford.

The latest sighting of Tucker was on February 10th in Lyons, South Dakota. If you do see Tucker, the best thing to do is not approach or chase him. He might run off.

Tucker is unsure of people he doesn't know so if you see him do not approach! Please ignore him and call or text 612-321-8774 with any sighting information ASAP.

Tucker may be hiding under porch decks, sheds, or even window wells. If you see Tucker, please call 612-321-8774. I know this could seem like a stretch, but there is a family who "misses him terribly." They want Tucker to come home.

Prayers you find Tucker soon

Oh no, I'm soo sorry you haven't gotten your guy back to!?! I pray that somehow you get him back home soon

Hang in there, Tucker! So many people across the Sioux Empire aren't giving up on you!
