Igor was not leashed at the time, which the Sheriff's Office says is how the handler usually lets Igor go to the bathroom at night.
Fireworks went off near where Igor was, startling him and causing him to run away.

Officers searched the area through the evening and Friday, and residents were notified, using mass notification software, of Igor’s disappearance.
As of 7Â p.m. on Friday, Igor has not been located.
Igor was last seen wearing a silver chain collar, and he is microchipped, according to the Sheriff's Office
