He was last seen on Feb. 19 in Guildford, wearing a blue trench coat, white and red running shoes, carrying a grey and black knapsack and brown computer bag.
Police say he may respond poorly to strangers and physical contact.
According to Chupik’s family, it is unusual for him to be out of contact for so long.
