Lost: Black Labrador mix with red collar near The Strip

I lost my dog yesterday around 6pm, near The Strip on University Blvd by the UA campus in Tuscaloosa. He's a medium-sized Black Labrador mix, about 50 pounds, with a bright red collar and a blue bandana covered in little paw prints. He has a small white heart-shaped patch on his chest and a tiny scar above his left ear from a playful tumble. He’s friendly but a little shy with strangers, and he tends to follow scents down side streets. I'm really worried - he’s been my constant companion since he joined our family last year, and he might be scared and hungry out there. If you’ve seen him, please text me; I’d be grateful to get him back.
