Oregon Man's Prescription Dog Found

A three-week search for the companion dog of an Oregon man battling depression has ended happily in Wyoming, more than 700 miles from where the dog went missing in Nebraska.

Melody, a 12-year-old border collie mix, was found huddled under a pickup in Sheridan, Wyo. She had been inside a car when it was stolen in York, Neb.

The companion dog has been Bliss Green's remedy for the last 11 years, after he went to a hospital for being depressed and suicidal, Green said.

"I brought her old bed from the house," Green said Monday from Idaho, while driving to reunite with Melody at an animal shelter in Sheridan. "There's enough room for her to sit right next to me when we go home."

Green's car was stolen while he was inside a York gas station early Nov. 3. He was heading home to Oregon after visiting his daughter in Chicago. Melody was inside the car with Green's cell phone and his belongings.

York police said the stolen cell phone was tracked as it was used through Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Oregon. It led authorities to the car and a suspect who was arrested in Oregon, Green said.
