Jason Duncan Jr., 7, has lost several family members in the past year, including his mother in March. Helping him with his grief was his dog, Fred, given to him by his late mother.




But according to Jason’s father, Fred went missing earlier this week.



“People try to offer to get us other dogs, and stuff like that, but you know, the dog was (given) to him by his mother, who recently passed away. He's like, 'You can give me a million dollars, but none of them will be from my mom. A million dogs, but none of them will be from my mom," Jason Duncan Sr. said.



The elder Duncan said he went to let Fred out from their East Price Hill home Tuesday when he noticed Fred was missing.



A neighbor told the Duncans two people lured Fred into a car, perhaps thinking he was running loose.



The family said that Fred returned home Saturday afternoon.



“We don’t really know who had him or nothing, we're just kinda’ just glad that he's home,” the elder Duncan said. “We don’t want to ruin the moment and worry about where he was and all of that.”



The family said the dog was bruised and may have a broken bone. He is expected to go to the vet Sunday evening.
