Florida Man’s Desperate Search for His Four-Legged Shadow
While visiting Cedar Falls, a heartbroken pet owner is reaching out to the community to help locate Ruby, his inseparable canine companion. Travis Sink and Ruby’s connection runs deeper than typical pet ownership – they’re virtually inseparable, with Ruby even serving as his faithful workplace companion, making her disappearance during their Florida-to-Iowa journey particularly devastating.
An Inseparable Pair
“She’s far more than a pet,” Sink explains, describing their unique relationship. “Very few people experience this level of companionship with their dogs. My entire lifestyle revolves around her – from choosing pet-friendly dining spots to having her by my side at work. She’s my constant shadow, and her love for people is boundless.” Despite entering her senior years at age 10, Ruby maintains the spirited demeanor of a young pup, charming everyone she encounters.
The Disappearance
Ruby vanished on December 23, shortly after their arrival in Cedar Falls, with her last known location being the downtown area. The complete absence of sightings since then has led Sink to speculate that a well-meaning resident might have offered her shelter from the winter weather.
“We haven’t had any leads since that day,” Sink notes. “Our theory is that someone, possibly without access to social media or internet, took her in to protect her from the elements.”
Community Support Grows
The Cedar Falls community has demonstrated remarkable solidarity in the search effort. Local establishments have united to establish a $1,000 reward for information leading to Ruby’s return. “The local response has been incredible,” Sink shares. “I’m deeply moved by the outpouring of support.”
Help Bring Ruby Home
Ruby, a Whippet-Labrador blend weighing 35 pounds, was last seen without her collar, which she’d lost prior to her disappearance. Anyone with information about Ruby can reach Sink directly at 352-214-3789. She can be safely returned to 415 West 7th Street in Cedar Falls or to the UNI Police Station at any hour.
With continued community backing, Sink remains hopeful about reuniting with his beloved companion. Together, we can help bring Ruby back home.
