Combat vet’s service dog missing on the North Fork since July 15

She loves to swim, has a slight limp, and serves faithfully as a service dog for a military veteran in Mattituck.

So say the owners of a black English lab called Gigi, which is shortened from Good Girl, who went missing on July 15.

Her family has since been in a desperate search to find her.

“Still NOT ONE sighting of her,” owner Kathleen Stewart DiSilvio wrote on Facebook last week, July 25. “At this point, we can only hope someone has her and is loving her enough.”

The heartbreaking post goes on to list careful instructions on caring for Gigi, in case someone might have the lovable Labrador — a service dog for DiSilvio’s husband, Michael.

“She eats 2 cups in the morning and 2 more around 5-6,” DiSilvio continued. “She needs to be active and loves all dogs. Although she gets a little too excited during the initial meet and great. She has a trampoline she sunbaths on and her toys don’t last long as she rips them apart.

“She always steals the kid’s stuffed animals and socks and blankets and eats holes in blankets so beware … She also loves chewing branches, sticks, and pinecones amongst things. She digs up everything and makes huge holes in the yard.”

Still, DiSilvio implored anyone who might have the pup to please give her back.

“We love her too and she is a service dog for a combat veteran who needs her back,” she writes. “We all need her back she is more than just a beautiful Labrador.

“Please return to her safety, no questions asked.”

Aside from posting missing dog listings across Long Island Facebook groups, the DiSilvio family on Aug. 26 also posted a missing pet listing on the popular site Pet FBI.

The listing has all the contact information for the family, including an email address and two phone numbers, along with other particulars, such as:

Gigi is 1 and 1/2 years old, around 50 pounds, and is all black (no spots), with a beauty mark on her belly. She was last seen wearing a Seresto-brand flea and tick collar that was gray with a name tag that contains a phone number, and a green rabies tag.

She went missing near Marratooka Lane and New Suffolk Avenue in Mattituck.
