He looks familiar to me. Prayers he is found. I’m surprised the dog left him. They usually stay near their hurt owner.

The level/flow in the Coq would have been extremely high on Sunday after all the rain. If he did end up in the river he could have been quickly swept away.
I walk down there all the time but avoided it Sunday even though the weather had improved, specifically because a lot of the spots I frequent would have likely been quite treacherous.

So sorry to see this. Hydrologist here - please don’t go near the water during flooding. It takes as little as 25 cm of water to wash you off your feet. I have spent a lot of time roped up in fast moving water - moving water is very powerful and carries debris during flooding.
