00:00The very first day that Harley came to the house, it was like in the movies, in slow
00:05motion.
00:06They like stared at each other and ran into each other's arms.
00:10It was instantly love.
00:16Kai was my lifeline.
00:18We were inseparable.
00:20We kind of helped each other through our difficult times.
00:33I got Kai to help me cope, because when I came back from Afghanistan, I was officially
00:40diagnosed with PTSD.
00:42I had night terrors and nightmares, always scanning around, being hypervigilant, but Kai
00:48always had my back.
00:49I couldn't imagine he was deliberately stolen.
00:54The first time I did chemotherapy, I got very sick.
00:58I wasn't eating.
01:00Harley would lay next to me when I was feeling at my worst.
01:03He was there for me.
01:08Huey had been used as bait for dog fighting.
01:12He was just so broken down.
01:14It drew me close to him, and I just thought, I'm not going to let this dog give up.
01:18He's broken, and I'm broken, but that doesn't mean that it's over.
01:25The search continues in the North County tonight for a missing service dog.
01:30He is all that I have, and now I don't have that.
01:33I feel like my world is falling apart.
01:37Fate is fate, but just that desire, just that drive to live, it makes all the difference in the world,
01:44and we were going to fight for this.
01:51The dogs we love and who love us stay with us forever.
01:58The pain of loss is an echo of how connected we truly are.
02:04They're in our DNA, as are we in theirs.
02:10There's no life that can't be made better by the love of a dog.
02:16Bye.
