Help: Find This Dog for This Soldier
[Taken from Dogs on Deployment Facebook page.]
Trying to use my powers for awesome.
TL;DR version: This soldier was deployed for 8 months, and came home to find his dog had been given away or sold without his knowledge. Please help find this dog. Joint Base Lewis-McChord area in Washington state.

LAKEWOOD– A Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier was devastated when he returned home from deployment to find his dog was missing — and possibly sold on Craigslist.
Brandon Harker returned last week after an 8-month deployment to Afghanistan. He was excited to see Oakley, his 2-year-old purebred yellow Labrador retriever.
Harker had asked a friend to take care of Oakley while he was deployed. When he contacted the friend to pick him up, he was told the dog had been given away.
He turned to social media to find his dog and was contacted by numerous people who said they’d seen Oakley listed for sale in February on Craigslist. Harker has been calling local veterinarians and shelters, hoping for word on his dog since Oakley is micro-chipped and registered.
“I am just trying to get him back since he was wrongfully given away or sold without my permission while I was deployed,” Harker said.

How do you sell a man's dog?!
ReplyDeleteVeterans United might be able to help?
ReplyDeleteThat has to suck. He goes away for 8 months, probably thinking I'm going to be able to come back to my home town, my best friend and relax. I can only imagine what it would feel like to hear the dog was given away. Certainly not a 'friend' who did that.
ReplyDeleteI volunteer to punch the care taker in the face.
ReplyDeleteDoes that guy have a stripper pole in his bedroom? Strippers cannot be trusted.
ReplyDeleteIan George I do believe that is a mirrored closet door you are looking at.
ReplyDeleteI have seen mirrors at strip clubs too. I am telling you, strippers cannot be trusted.
ReplyDeleteI'm fairly certain the guy in the picture is the actual owner.
ReplyDeletei'm willing to bet its his ex-girlfriend did it. Cheated on him while hes away on deployment and get rid of his stuff.....how many times have i heard these stories?? Too many...
ReplyDeleteJo Anne Thomas thanks for pinging us into this conversation -- we'll definitely share it without our veterans communities and spread the word. Has anyone contacted Dogs on Deployment? They also have a great platform to spread this type of information.
