ARLINGTON (1080 KRLD) - An Arlington veteran is desperately searching for his stolen service dog, the dog he calls his best friend.
Last month, someone broke into Emmanuel Bernadin's Arlington apartment and ransacked the place. Stealing his TV, cameras, Play Station and most devastating of all, his dog named Rozelyn.
Bernardin tells NBC-5 his dog, a French Mastiff, gets him through the tough times stemming from his PTSD due to two tours in Iraq.

November 1, 2019 After hearing the story, the Katy Trail Ice House has stepped in to offer a $5,000 reward for the safe return of the dog.
"The story touched me," said managing partner Buddy Cramer. "We realize we owe a lot of our business to people with dogs and thought it was a good way to give back. We hope this brings the dog back, no questions asked."
