The following is a letter to the community published on the Humane Society for Inland Mendocino County Facebook page:

One of our dear friends and fosters, Lloyd, was in a boating accident at Pudding Creek yesterday. He was pulled out of the water by four men, given CPR and air lifted to Santa Rosa Memorial. His wife Hilary is by his side and has reached out to let us know that their pug Priya was on the boat and she had a life jacket on. She is not sure if her husband will make it and has asked us to put the word out to see if anyone can search the area and see if Priya survived. She is hoping finding Priya might help Lloyd pull through and believes he may have been trying to save her.
Priya should have been wearing a life jacket and the boat crashed into the breakers at Pudding Creek Friday afternoon 11/24. If are in the area and can help search it would mean so much to us all.
Please send all your prayers and love to our sweetest Hilary and her husband Lloyd during this tragic time.
