"We've searched every back road, called every shelter, and prayed harder than we ever have," Brice wrote on Instagram. "Charlee, if you're out there, hang on, my pretty girl. Daddy's coming for you."
Brice believed that his family's black dog could be anywhere in the Nashville area.
"To everyone reading this, y'all know how much our four-legged friends mean to us country folks," he wrote. "If you've seen a pregnant dog that looks like her, or heard anything at all, please message me, comment below, or share this post. Any little clue could bring her home to her babies... and to us."
Now, there's an update on the search for Charlee. The details are below.
Fans Responded to Lee Brice's Call for Help
Fans offered advice and tips to help Brice locate Charlee. They suggested everything from Facebook groups to thermal drone companies.
Thanks to this outpouring of support, there was hope. This morning, it paid off. The singer shared this morning that Charlee is home.
"Here she is in her bed," Brice said in a video. "Her little leg is broken, but she's gonna fix that. She's so happy to be home, and I'm so happy to have her home.
He added, "Thank y'all so much for all y'all did, all my friends texting me and everybody on social media and all that. I'm just so glad I did that because, man, 24 hours to find, you know, somebody so special. Appreciate y'all again and again."
Fans Were Overjoyed by the News
As Brice pointed out, and as every pet owner knows, dogs are members of the family. When they're hurt or get lost, it's a terrible feeling.
Brice's fans understood this, which is why they not only helped him locate Charlee but also celebrated when she was found.
One user wrote, "Oh I'm so happy to see this update! Hope her little leg heals quickly."
"Thank God she is home safe and sound Lee," another added. "She is blessed with a loving home. The power of prayers!"
