Military Man Needs Help Finding His Dog after Crash | #datingscams | #lovescams | #facebookscams

If you listen to “Acadiana’s Morning News” weekdays on KPEL then you know how much I love animals and the people that serve our country.

This story is how two of the things I treasure most have come together in a story that you can be a part of. The story starts with a terrible crash on the Atchafalaya Basin that my morning show partner, Ian Auzenne, reported on.

I-10 Eastbound Crash at Milepost 126 Sunday January 16

To begin with, on Sunday morning, there was a crash where a vehicle hit the guardrail. While a wrecker and other emergency vehicles were trying to clean things up, the driver of an 18-wheeler allegedly slammed into the Department of Transportation and Development vehicle at the scene. The DOTD vehicle did have its lights flashing and cones had been placed on the roadway to alert drivers of a crash.

One of the people injured is a career military man named George Yanas. In addition to being injured in the crash, he also lost his best fur friend, “Fenny” who took off in all of the chaos of the crash. Yanas is hoping the public will keep an eye out for Fenny.

According to Yanas’ mom Nicki Garcia, Fenny is a blue Pit Bull. She says he has white fur around his nose and white fur on his breast area. He has on a collar that is white with blue, orange, and pink polka dots.

The family is hoping someone will find Fenny. Yanas was driving from Texas back to his base in Florida when the crash happened. Garcia says her son is fine now, and he has returned to work in Florida, but he is without Fenny.

Can you please keep an eye out for Fenny if you live anywhere near I-10? Trust me, I know from experience, when a dog is scared they can travel for quite a great distance. My dog Gracie accidentally got out of the yard about a year and a half ago, and she was found seven blocks away. So, who knows where Fenny could be? Will you help? Will you keep an eye out for Fenny?

If you do see Fenny, or you think you might have seen Fenny, you can call Yanas’ mom Nicki Garcia at 830-481-8507.
