MAYFIELD, Ky. (AP) – A Murray State student who lost most of his belongings in a tornado earlier this month is continuing his search for his beloved dog, who was torn from his arms during the twister.

The Paducah Sun (http://bit.ly/1TpQGkq ) reports that Matt James, his girlfriend Brie Keyes and her mother Lisa have been following up on about 20 reported sightings of Ruger from Mayfield to Paducah. Ruger is a 2-year-old male blue heeler.

The three of them have teamed up with Jamie Katz, a Florida-based pet detective, to strategically place signs across western Kentucky to raise awareness about the dog.

James was injured by a tornado near Mayfield on May 10 while seeking shelter with Ruger and his girlfriend inside his garage.
