\nA Grammy-nominated country musician is pleading for help finding his family\u2019s lost and pregnant dog after she \u201cslipped away\u201d from their Tennessee home in early January.
Lee Brice, 46, has turned over every rock in his desperate search for his black Labrador, Charlee, who vanished in early January.
He posted an eleventh-hour plea asking his local fans to keep an eye out for his family\u2019s \u201csweet girl.\u201d
\u201cShe\u2019s not just a dog, she\u2019s family. She\u2019s pregnant, carrying those little pups, and every day that passes without her safe in our arms feels like a lifetime. We\u2019ve searched every back road, called every shelter, prayed harder than we ever have,\u201d Brice wrote on Facebook.
\u201cCharlee, if you\u2019re out there, hang on, my pretty girl. Daddy\u2019s coming for you. To everyone reading this, y\u2019all know how much our four-legged friends mean to us country folks\u2026.Any little clue could bring her home to her babies\u2026and to us.\u201d
Brice, an acclaimed country singer who earned a Grammy Award nomination for his his song \u201cI Drive Your Truck\u201d in 2014, warned that Charlee \u201ccould be anywhere from way south of Franklin, to past Dickson west of town, or any surrounding areas.\u201d
His family lives in the Nashville-area. In an updated posted Monday afternoon, Brice wrote that Charlee might\u2019ve been spotted near a home in Kingston Springs, roughly 23 miles outside of Nashville.
Brice noted that Charlee didn\u2019t appear to have her collar on in footage that was shared with him and said he was \u201cgoing to go riding around the area.\u201d
Brice reposted the same message on his Instagram. He boasts roughly 3.4 million followers between both social media platforms.
In his comments, adoring fans offered up their prayers, while others recommended ways to track Charlee down, including regularly checking in with local shelters or hiring a drone operator who could do an aerial search.
It\u2019s not immediately clear how old Charlee is, or when she is due to give birth.
Brice previously rescued a Beagle named Buck in 2020. Two of his other dogs who have since passed away, Jax and Knox, also vanished in 2017, but were later found safe, as reported by KBOE Radio.<\/p>\n
