LOXAHATCHEE, FL (CBS 58) -- Big Dog Ranch Rescue announced the sudden passing of Ridglan Farm rescue, Omelette, after an extensive search for the missing pup. 

On Sunday around 6 p.m., Omelette escaped their adopter's fence. After a search was sent out, Omelette was found in a nearby canal and based on the evidence he was deemed a victim of an alligator attack. 

Big Dog Ranch Rescue says that precautions were put in place as the former lab beagles are considered flight risks, such as a Fi GPS tracking collar being provided for each adopter. 

However, in this case, the GPS wasn't activated immediately by the adopter before Omelette's escape. 

Big Dog Ranch Resue states that from this point on that they will ensure that the GPS is fully installed and activated on the adopter's phone. 

Omelette will be greatly missed.
