Jessica said her dad and uncle were at a friend's place, helping clean up a flooded basement, when her dad went to take the dog out for a washroom break.
A man remains missing in Coquitlam, B.C., on Thursday but his family has not given up hope.
Robert Belding‘s family and friends have been tirelessly looking for any sign of him after he was last seen on Sunday.
“So I’m trying to stay analytical and stay positive and stay just focused on the task of finding him,” daughter Jessica Belding said.
“But of course, it’s hard. It’s just a roller coaster of emotions.”
Jessica said her dad and uncle were at a friend’s place, helping clean up a flooded basement due to the atmospheric river, when her dad went to take the dog out for a washroom break.
He has not been seen since but the dog was found downstream, cold and wet but alive.
“The first night, it just seemed so, like, not real, that I was pretty numb to it,” Jessica said.
Search and rescue officials said a witness told them they saw Belding with the dog.
