| Brandon Harker with his dog before it went missing |
(Scroll down for video) A man, who was serving his country, was betrayed by his friend. That friend was supposed to care for his dog while he was away.
The soldier was left with a broken heart after returning home from a eight-month tour to Afghanistan only to find out that his beloved pet dog was missing and was possibly sold on Craigslist.
Brandon Harker had just returned from his tour of duty, when he found out that his 2-year-old yellow labrador retriever named Oakley is missing. Harker had left the dog with a friend, but when he called to arrange a time to pick up his dog, he was told that his pet was gone.
“My friend just said that he got rid of it. He never gave me any explanation,” Harker said. The friend said he does not know the name or phone number of the person to whom he gave the dog.
The soldier contacted animal shelters and veterinarians in hopes that his dog which has a microchip had been found, but he had no luck.
Harker began searching online. Harker came into contact with a number of people, who said they have seen an advertisement for the sale of Oakley in the classified ads section on the Craigslist website earlier this year.
Since then, Harker has put a message on Craigslist asking anyone with information on the whereabouts of his dog to contact him.
