I cant believe you were sitting getting drunk! Dude I have insane tactics for finding lost animals, check your bros house if he lives in same neighborhood, also check out the place they walk their dog once again only if you live in same neigborhood, if you drive around the neighborhood for an hour just going down every street youve gotta find it.
Is the dog chipped? We have a microchip system here in UK - so when the doggies go walkabout, they're identifiable even if some scrote removes the collar and tags. Happened to me twice with one of my dogs, pooch stealing is big business here. If not phone the local dog warden and deffo put up some fly posters. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you luvvy. I'm sure he'll turn up.
OMG i cant believe thjis dog is so fuckin smart it defintly has a nose of a beagle it found its way back and it was only at our house for less than 30 minutes...omg i love it...WE GOT OUR DOG YAAAAY
