DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) - Caroline Mosely is devastated.

Her service dog Sidney, a five-year-old black Labrador, 
disappeared
Wednesday night from her East Dallas backyard.

Mosely cried, “If he’s in harms way, but he can’t get to me, I 
don’t know.”

She is legally blind.

Five years ago, her sight deteriorated and she was diagnosed with 
macular
degeneration.

“I think he’s missing me as much as I am missing him.”

Mosely reached out to Guide Dogs for the Blind, a nonprofit 
organization
that breeds about 900 dogs a year to train them to work with the 
blind and
visually impaired.

Mosely has depended on Sidney ever since.

She says, “If I’m walking across the street, if a car is 
approaching too
fast where I’m in danger, he’s trained to block me or push me 
back or if a
car is coming up behind me as if it’s going to hit me, he’s 
trained to pull
me out of harm’s way.”





Mosely says she hasn’t been able to sleep well since Wednesday 
night.  sShe
let him out back around 9pm.  But when she called for him an hour 
later, she
says he was gone.  She believes he may have gotten spooked by 
fireworks and
snuck through the back fence.

Ever since Sidney went missing, Caroline and her fiancé have been 
repeatedly
driving through the neighborhood to find him.

Guide Dogs for the Blind and members of the Lone Star Guide Dog 
Raisers Club
will be posting flyers and talking to neighbors Saturday morning 
around 11
a.m.  in an effort to find Sidney.

Mosely says, “Part of me is missing, almost to the point where I 
feel like
I’m going through a death, like I’ve lost a loved one, that’s how 
close he
is to me.”

Sidney has a distinctive strip of white fur running from his chin 
down to
his chest.

He has tattoos in both ears with his ID number “449 P.”

If you have any information on his whereabouts, you can call 
Guide Dogs for
the Blind at 800-295-4050, extension 4090.
