Missing service dog found in Texas
San Diego Union Tribune ^ | 9/8/2015 | Teri Figueroa

A former Marine’s missing service dog turned up in Texas last week, nine months after the German shepherd disappeared — and was possibly stolen — from a North County home, a Vista-based sheriff’s detective said Tuesday.

On Aug. 31, a tip led Kai’s owner, Alexandra Melnick, to a home in Aubrey, about an hour north of Dallas. The Vista woman flew to Texas and confirmed that her dog was at the home, Detective Debra Hutches said.

That's the problem. The sheriff needs to upgrade to XP.

Dog must be pretty smart - wanted to get out of California and move to Texas.

Ping!

This is a terrible story. I wonder what led this young pup to be in “terrible” health and what excuse the N. Dallas woman will provide for why she has the dog?

My life learnin’ regarding the Laws of Physics and Murphy’s Law indicates that I would never put me much less my dog at the place for a pic. That’s why photoshop was developed.

Man, I just love German Shepherds. This one has a particularly good looking human pet, I must say.

I am very upset to hear of its poor health, and I really hope she is able to get things turned around for the better.

I got a real bad attitude for anyone who would do anything to harm a GSD grrr...

On second thought; you know what kind of dog would go out on a cliff like that? The Coyote from The Roadrunner SHow.

I’ve seen to many Warner Bros. cartoons to sit on a rock like that.

If the Road Runner was standing on that rock, the rest of the world would fall away, and the rock and Road Runner would remain :D

Kai has been released back to its rightful owner today by a Texas judge. She is returning back with the dog to San Diego right now.
