Being a deployed member of the military isn’t easy. After spending nine months in TKTKTKT, TKTKTKT was looking forward to coming home to his TKTKTKT year-old Yellow Lab TKTKTKTK.

The only problem: TKTKTKTKT was gone. According to TKTKTKTK, who took to Craigslist this morning in hopes of tracking his canine companion down, TKTKTKTK was either sold or given away by the TKTKTK tasked for caring for the dog while TKTKT was stationed overseas. Understandably, TKTKTKTK says he was devastated by the development.

Here’s TKTKTKTKTK’s Craigslist post:

I just recently returned from a 9 month deployment. And upon arrival back into the area I found out my yellow labrador retriever was either given away or sold while I was gone. I was told this happened in May, but it could have happened anytime from February till June. He is good with kids and other dogs. He has a unique coat, on his face he has spots of a darker yellow (champagne) he also has spots of the same color going down his sides and legs. If anyone has any information on this and can help me please do. I am just trying to get him back to me since he was wrongfully given away or sold with out my permission while I was deployed. I will also be able to verify the dog is mine because he is micro-chipped and registered to me. Once again thank you to everyone who sees this and tries to help. If you could spread the word about this issues that would be great as well.
