At some point, he escaped the backyard through a dog door in the early morning hours, Emily Lorber tells Patch.
"We've checked local animal shelters, but so far, no luck," Emily Lorber said.
Chewie has been a member of the family since he was little enough to be bottle fed, they say. He has been with his owner through her major life events, through her engagement, wedding, and the birth of their first baby.
He is a happy-go-lucky dog who loves cheese more than anything, except his owner, Lorber says. "We are heartbroken, and hope by some miracle he is found safe."
