Obviously this is quite a hard and rough time for you...good to see others here in AD giving support and keeping you and your dog in their prayers, likewise, puppy is also in my prayers as well.
You mentioned that you came home and your puppy wasn't there, just to clear up any possible misunderstandings, was your puppy outside on a chain or even in a fenced area...or was it (as usual or normally) inside, yet wasn't inside when you got home? If inside, any possible way your puppy could have found a way out...even checking possible escape routes might reveal paw prints on the ground..I know that's a long-shot, but knowing you're desperate and searching hard, might be something to try, that is only if there was a possible way your puppy gotten out.
Anyhow...sure hope you'll be reunited with your puppy soon! Hang in there!!
In the meantime, this thread will remain sticky for the time being.
