Murphy was staying with a pet sitter in Manhattan, Kansas, while his Pawrents were visiting family. Late in the evening on June 1, 2026, he was taken outside without a leash. A car sped by and startled him, causing him to bolt and run. The pet sitter searched throughout the night, and we were notified around 5:00 a.m. on June 2 that he was still missing.
It is possible Murphy may have been picked up by someone and could now be in another home. Sometimes people feel a dog is being mistreated if they are dirty when found and resist returning it to its owners. Murphy is loved and well cared for. His Pawrents are desperate to bring him home. Murphy is truly their heart and soul. He has the sweetest personality, but he is very timid and generally will not approach strangers unless he feels safe.
Murphy also has a significant medical history. He is immunocompromised due to a mycoplasma infection he contracted as a puppy, which progressed to necrotic pneumonia. He underwent a lobectomy at Kansas State University, resulting in approximately a 40% reduction in lung capacity.

If you have tips or information and wish to remain anonymous, we at All Paws Reunited will work with you to ensure that. Thank you!
