“Another dog was around and I thought he would be playing with that dog.

“After about eight minutes, I started looking for him, and he had gone off on an adventure," said Bloom.

"My two assumptions are he’s wandered off and gone down a ditch and can’t get himself out or someone has come across him and picked him up and is trying to take care of the little dog they’ve found.

“I’m not suggesting any malintent."

What did Orlando say when they found Mighty’s collar?

Bloom shared the news that Mighty’s collar had been found on his Instagram.

He wrote: "Mighty’s on the other side now. After 7 days of searching from sunrise to sunset and into the wee hours, today, the 7th day - the number of completion - we found his collar..."

"I have wept more this week than I thought possible, which has been very cathartic and healing... I left no stone unturned, crawled thru all the man holes, under the roads, searched every back yard and creek bed.

"Had two separate sniffer dogs do their best as well.

“I feel so grateful to have learned from my little Mighty man that love is eternal and the true meaning of devotion."

"I feel sure he was looking down on me whistling in every back yard and knowing that I was doing all I possibly could to respect our bond. He was more than a companion.
