The Daytona Beach News-Journal reported that Duncan was taking the dog to a veterinarian when the crash happened.

Duncan's partner, Scott Jackson, had been looking for the 2-year-old dog since then.

Copper was found Friday huddled in bushes near a college campus. The dog needed a few stitches from a neck wound likely suffered in the car crash.

Jackson said Copper will be attending a memorial service Saturday for Duncan.
