Oh, somebody would DIE if they ever did this to me and my pups.

Brandon Harker returned home to Lakewood, Washington from a nine month deployment in Afghanistan last week to find that his dog had been given away or sold on Craigslist by a friend who was supposed to be caring for the dog in his absence. Oakley, the two year old Labrador retriever, has a microchip with his information and registration, but after turning to veterinarians and shelters in an attempt to find him, Harker has now turned to social media and Craigslist.

“I am just trying to get him back since he was wrongfully given away or sold without my permission while I was deployed,” Harker said.

Oakley was reportedly given away sometime in May, according to the friend who was charged with his well-being, but Harker says that it could have been anywhere between February and June. If you live in Washington and have any information about Oakley, please contact Harker via Craigslist.

    “Hey remember Brandon?

    You know Brandon – Been in Afghanistan for a couple of months, trained to kill people… Yeah that Brandon. I’m thinking about selling his dog, he told me to look after it but I need some extra cash and… Well, I’m not going to sell my own shit – AMIRITE?!

    What’s the worst that could happen?”

  • MynameisBlarney

    That is fucked up.
    Hope that poor guy finds his dog.

    • DRoseDARs

      I hope they can find that poor guy’s body…

    I would have put the “friend” in the hospital.

    • DanielCopeland

      You misspelled “morgue”.

      • Luna93

        Yeah but if he dies, he doesn’t really suffer, does he? I think the only time I ever outright screamed at my mom was when she threatened to give away one of our long hair cats because she requires professional grooming each spring.

        • DanielCopeland

          I didn’t say how soon he had to end up there.

  • whycantwejustloveeverybody

    Friend: So Brandon buddy you’re getting deployed? Be safe… Welp he’s not coming back alive, time to sell some stuff. You first furball.

  • PapaSloth

    There are just so many things wrong here. I’m going to go with, “if someone asks you to watch their dog for 9 months and you don’t want to, say ‘no.’ Don’t say ‘yes’ and then sell their dog when you get bored.”

  • Dafuq?! What a piece of shit excuse for a friend. I would lose my mind if someone sold my bebeh-dog.

  • threenorns

    this is one situation where i can honestly and in all sincerity say i would
    lose
    my
    shit.

    i read. i read a lot. i read a lot of very interesting books, many with words like “anatomy” in the title. put it this way: watching what i’d do to someone who sold my dog, Dexter would be saying “whoa… nuhn-unh….no way, man”.

  • Crunchy Munchies

    How the hell could anyone do something that shitty to someone they considered a friend and still sleep at night? I can’t honestly say I wouldn’t end up in handcuffs if someone did that to any of my animals.

    I live in Washington, but unfortunately not close enough to potentially have any information about Oakley. I hope they find each other.

  • TolerantSteve

    FUCK THIS FUCKING FUCK

    • NO THANK YOU HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BREED

  • Alice Trout

    What kind of POS sells a soldier’s dog while he is at war?! Did this ‘friend’ crap on the guys pillow and have sex with his mom while he was deployed too?!

    What a horrible, horrible person.

  • I’d like to be kept posted on this story. Hope it ends well Ô_o

  • Ruminum

    Wow, dude. That’s low. Really, fucking low…

  • Curious

    Any follow-up here?
