Where’s Boxer?

Will Young, the young man who lost everything, including his beloved dog Boxer, rests in this family photo. The question undoubtedly on his mind is "Where's Boxer?" There were contradictory reports after the fire that Boxer had been seen on Moss Street and then that he had not escaped the fire at all. However, Fire Chief Rob Girard told The Current on Tuesday morning that fire crews did not find Boxer's body when they pulled apart the smouldering remains of the burned-out trailer. So where is Boxer? He is described as a friendly, mid-sized dog weighing 50-60 pounds. Recovering him would undoubtedly be an immense help to the young man. "I know there're a lot of pictures of the fire that was my brothers home and possible sightings of his dog, Boxer," Bobbie-Joe Young told The Current in an e-mail Tuesday morning. "I was wondering if we could have a photo of him (Boxer) in as well so people can see what he looks like and hopefully if he did make it out we can find him with everyone's help. My little brother is just devastated right now and it would really help if people knew what to look for. Thanks so much if this is possible." The Current is happy to help out.
