Over the weekend, Disturbed singer David Draiman took to social media and said that his golden retriever puppy went missing, and he pleaded for its safe return.
“It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I have to announce that our dear puppy, Charlotte has been missing since the morning before last,” Draiman wrote. “We think she was taken by someone/something when she was playing out in the yard.”
“Reward for with any information on her whereabouts that leads to finding her. 10 week old Golden Retriever puppy, Charlotte. Taken from the Coral Gables area of Miami. #missing #puppy #goldenretriever”.
On Monday, the 50-year-old frontman provided an update via Instagram that Charlotte had been found.
“Found her!!! THANK GOD!!!” Draiman wrote.
Draiman is a dog lover, and he’s spoken frequently about his four-legged friends in interviews. The heartbreaking passing of one of his previous dogs inspired some of the lyrics for Disturbed’s “Asylum” album.
“My touring companion, my dog Lisa, I had to put her to sleep during the ‘Music As A Weapon’ run,” Draiman previously said.
“It was really difficult for me to deal with, and I got into a new relationship with a beautiful, wonderful girl and things went temporarily sour just prior to me moving into my new home in Austin, Texas. I moved from Chicago to Austin and I ordered a new pup that was supposed to be ready for me, and by the time I got home, the puppy ended up dying on the way to me.”
