Heartbreaking Outcome In Case of Missing Golden Retriever Wilson

UPDATE! Sad outcome to the case of a golden retriever named 'Wilson' who has been missing for just over one week.

It is with absolutely shattered hearts that we share the news we never wanted to have to write. Wilson has been found deceased. Our hearts are broken beyond words. Wilson was our baby boy, a beloved member of our family, and the emptiness we feel right now is impossible to describe. - Jason Nelson, Wilson's Dad

On Wednesday September 2nd at 10:40a, according to social media posts, Wilson entered the water just inside of Gray's Crossing State Park. Wilson's daycare, Adirondack Sniffari, reported that the retriever went missing at approximately 11:15am. At 1:59p Wilson's family were notified Wilson was missing.

Teams searched Gray's Crossing thoroughly. Drones went up in the air over the last week, covering all of the park and nearby areas. The creek was searched by kayak a few times. A K9 tracking dog indicated Wilson's scent was detected at the entry point of the water.

More than anything, we want our boy safely reunited with us. If that is no longer possible, we desperately need him to be found so we can learn what happened. Living with this agonizing uncertainty is unbearable.- Jason Nelson, Wilson's Dad

The family would like to thank the hundreds of people who shared Wilson’s posts, searched, called in tips, checked cameras and properties, offered resources, donated, prayed, sent messages, and kept Wilson in your thoughts — thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
