According to the Missing Dogs Massachusetts Facebook page, the seven-year-old dog eats prescription food and needs medicine for severe allergies. He was wearing an I.D. collar and has been microchipped.

Nese’s vehicle has Masachusetts tags with the number 6ZG 441 and an Italian flag decal on the rear. It was reportedly spotted near the store on Sunday night, but drove off.
