CLOVERDALE, Ind. (WISH) — The search for a lost dog that ran away after a deadly accident expanded Wednesday.

Derrick remains in the hospital.

Their dog Milo ran off after the crash. Volunteers have been working to bring him back to his family.

Milo is a rescue dog and served as an emotional support dog to help Jenna. People who live in the area are being asked to check outbuildings and barns.

If you find Milo, do not rush to grab him. Volunteers were told he can be skittish.
