Marine With PTSD Looking For Missing Therapy Dog

A former California Marine is asking for the public’s help to find her dog that helps ease her post-traumatic stress disorder.

Alexandra Melnick’s dog, Kai, disappeared from her Vista home on Friday. Kai is a 1-year-old, tri-colored German Shepherd.

Melnick has been canvassing North County with fliers in hopes of finding Kai, which has brought her comfort.

“He was never used for the military, but he does help with PTSD-related aspects for me as a service dog,” she said. “I would really like for him to come home.”

She said Kai is micro-chipped and does not have a collar. Anyone who finds Kai can return him to the nearest animal shelter, she said.
