The owner of a missing hunting dog says that Frank has been found. That’s after Indiana Conservation Officers went into a Jennings County cave to rescue the hunting dog yesterday, but couldn’t find the animal.

The agency’s cave rescue team and two volunteer crews were called after Frank, a Walker champion coon hunting dog went missing Tuesday night after tracking into the cave near Norris Avenue in southwestern Jennings County.

Conservation officers say that they searched the cave extensively but couldn’t find Frank.

Frank’s owner posted on Facebook that his best friend had been found safe. The owner said that at one point there were 17 people out hunting for Frank including hiking the area or searching the caves.
