On the morning of the 4th of July, Flarity and his fiancee took Tito out on a friend’s boat. After returning to the dock, they were standing around talking when a neighbor shot off some fireworks, which startled Tito.

Flarity has started a Facebook page, Finding Tito, to help receive tips on where people think they may have seen him. Currently, the page has an impressive following of over 12,000 people, and Flarity asks anybody with any information on a stray dog (which may or may not be Tito) to please contact him. The dog dad says that he’s not afraid to go on a wild goose chase, since any lead might be the one that brings Tito back home.

According to the veteran in a story by AL.com:
“I’m a dog person, but Tito and I communicate on a level that’s hard to describe. It’s something I’ve never felt before. We can have conversations. It’s weird. It’s amazing.”
I'm coming for you Tito. Keep surviving my son. #teamtito
