A Grammy-nominated country musician is pleading for help finding his family’s lost and pregnant dog after she “slipped away” from their Tennessee home in early January.

Lee Brice, 46, has turned over every rock in his desperate search for his black Labrador, Charlee, who vanished in early January.

He posted an eleventh-hour plea asking his local fans to keep an eye out for his family’s “sweet girl.”

“She’s not just a dog, she’s family. She’s pregnant, carrying those little pups, and every day that passes without her safe in our arms feels like a lifetime. We’ve searched every back road, called every shelter, prayed harder than we ever have,” Brice wrote on Facebook.

“Charlee, if you’re out there, hang on, my pretty girl. Daddy’s coming for you. To everyone reading this, y’all know how much our four-legged friends mean to us country folks….Any little clue could bring her home to her babies…and to us.”

Brice, an acclaimed country singer who earned a Grammy Award nomination for his his song “I Drive Your Truck” in 2014, warned that Charlee “could be anywhere from way south of Franklin, to past Dickson west of town, or any surrounding areas.”

His family lives in the Nashville-area. In an updated posted Monday afternoon, Brice wrote that Charlee might’ve been spotted near a home in Kingston Springs, roughly 23 miles outside of Nashville.

Brice noted that Charlee didn’t appear to have her collar on in footage that was shared with him and said he was “going to go riding around the area.”

Brice reposted the same message on his Instagram. He boasts roughly 3.4 million followers between both social media platforms.

In his comments, adoring fans offered up their prayers, while others recommended ways to track Charlee down, including regularly checking in with local shelters or hiring a drone operator who could do an aerial search.

It’s not immediately clear how old Charlee is, or when she is due to give birth.

Brice previously rescued a Beagle named Buck in 2020. Two of his other dogs who have since passed away, Jax and Knox, also vanished in 2017, but were later found safe, as reported by KBOE Radio.
