A Pomona man who suffers from depression and anxiety desperately is looking for his emotional support dog that got lost accidentally in the Montclair area.
Robert Dominguez said he brought his dog, Lexi, to his sister’s house in Montclair on April 1, so that someone can take care of the dog while he was at work. But when his mom went outside to throw out trash, Lexi was accidentally let out and has been missing since.
Dominguez, who relies on Lexi for his depression and anxiety symptoms, said the pup is more than his emotional support dog; she’s family.
“She’s everything I have, and that I always look forward to seeing whenever I get home from work,” Dominguez said. “She helps me a lot to regulate my emotions.”
As emotional support or therapy dogs help people with depression and motivate them to engage in daily activity, Dominguez said Lexi is the reason he gets out of the bed everyday.
“Lexi just helps me to be active,” he explained. “She helps me get out and just see the world.”
The owner said he’s been distraught for the last three weeks as he desperately looked for her. Dominguez said he’s posted flyers all over the Montclair area.
“I just want to ask that if anybody knows where she’s at or if anybody knows, if someone has her, please let me know or share the information so that I could bring her back because I miss her a lot,” Dominguez pleaded.
Lexi, a blonde haired pup with the pink nose, is described to have small bump on the lower left side of her and a loose bottom tooth. Anyone who recognizes and spots Lexi was urged to call 323-696-0406.
