Molino Family Searching For Missing Special Needs Companion Dog
March 27, 2013
A local family has been searching for their dog Jasper for over a week now, and they are asking the Molino community for help in finding him.
Jasper is a male yellow lab about four years old, and he is a specials needs companion for a child named Destiny, who suffers from Downs Syndrome. He’s been missing since last week from the Brickyard Road area. The family has listed him missing on the NorthEscambia.com classifieds page and on Facebook.
“He first met Destiny when she was about six months old,” aunt Aundrea Smith said. “It was like they automatically latched onto each other.” Jasper has learned to alert the family when Destiny is experiencing difficulty breathing or find an adult when she has other needs.
“I don’t have any money, or I’d offer a million dollars reward for him; he’s that special,” Smith said.
Anyone that sees Jasper is asked to call Aundrea Smith immediately at (850) 754-0053.

there are two dogs at the humane society that look like this dog.
Both are up for adoption.
I think I cared for him he is a yellow lab with a blue collar and he responds to Jasper
When I fed him he had no collar
Check with the pound, down on Fairfield. Go and look yourself. I asked if they had my dog, and they said no. Turns out they had her since thursday. Had her listed as a yorkie and shes a shitzu. Hope you find your dog soon.
Sorry, I saw a dog that looked very similar but with a red collar. Hope they get reconnected.
Jasper has a black/dark blue collar
I can’t stop looking at the sweet picture of Destiny and Jasper. You know they have a very special bond that shows. And, on a level that only Jasper understands, he knows how much Destiny loves him and needs him. I hope we can all keep our eyes open and help find him and return him home soon. If you picked him up, thinking he was stray, please take him home. This sweet little girl deserves to have her joy back. Near my neighborhood, as it just happens, a Down’s syndrome boy has a yellow lab. One day, he had gotten out of the yard and just went running with me (I had never seen him before). We had a wonderful time together, and It took a little doing to figure out where he lived, but I later saw them together and was so glad he was back home with his master.
Is he chipped?
Poor Jasper, I’m sure he is missing Destiny too. I pray he is found and returned to the owners real soon.
What is the color of his collar?
I feed the dog some time last week he showed up at my house. He was gone when I got home from work. off molino near louis bar
I sure hope someone finds Jasper. He looks like a dog I had twenty years ago. Ole Yella was a great dog and I still miss him. I know Aundrea and Destiny are missing Jasper. Lab’s are great dogs and I hope if someone has found him that they will return him.
I saw a yellow lab running around on 95A near 97, if that is helpful but I have no idea if it is the one they are looking for. Hope they find him soon and he is OK! I know it means a lot to the girl to have him, and they are expensive dogs.
