Former Pakistan Captain Seeks Help to Find Beloved Family Pet
Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi has appealed to the public for help after his pet dog, Max, went missing in Islamabad.
Afridi shared the appeal on social media platform X and asked people to help locate the missing puppy.
He described Max as a deeply loved member of his family.
Afridi urged anyone who finds the dog to keep him safe until arrangements can be made for his return.
The former all-rounder said Max had been raised like a family member and had already survived a serious health struggle during the early days of his life.
Afridi also encouraged social media users to share the missing-dog appeal widely.
He said every repost could increase the chances of finding Max and bringing him safely home.
A contact number, +92 333 8198181, was also shared for anyone who may have information about the dog’s location.
Max Survived Severe Illness at Just 30 Days Old
Afridi revealed that Max became seriously ill when he was only 30 days old.
Despite the health emergency, the puppy survived and later became an important part of the Afridi family.
That history has made the disappearance particularly emotional for the family.
Afridi’s appeal quickly began circulating across Pakistani social media.
Cricket fans, sports pages and other users shared the post in an effort to expand the search.
The former Pakistan captain stressed that even a simple share could help the message reach someone who may have seen Max.
As of the latest update included in the report, there was no confirmation that the missing puppy had been located.
The search therefore remains active.
Afridi and his family are hoping that public support will help bring Max home safely.
Wasim Akram Recently Faced Similar Search for Missing Dog
Afridi’s appeal comes only weeks after another Pakistan cricket legend experienced a similar situation.
Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram’s five-month-old dog, Duke, went missing from Karachi’s DHA Phase 8 area in July.
Akram and his wife, Shaniera Akram, turned to the public for assistance.
They also announced a reward of Rs250,000 for information that could lead to Duke’s safe recovery.
The search eventually ended successfully.
Akram later confirmed that Duke had been found safe.
He thanked members of the public and police officials who had helped during the search.
Afridi and his family will now be hoping for a similar outcome as efforts continue to locate Max in Islamabad.
The appeal has once again shown how social media can become an important tool for rapidly spreading information when a family pet goes missing.
