The Northwest Florida Daily News reported that a Bipolar sufferer’s companion dog disappeared in Destin. Florida Mom

DESTIN - It has been nearly a week since Paris, a black and white mixed breed dog with a curly, happy tail, disappeared from the back yard of her Benning Drive home.

She is more than a pet to her owner, Denver Prophit. She is medically necessary for the 39-year-old who suffers from depression and bipolar disorder. Last summer, Prophit’s doctor wrote a prescription for him to get a companion dog.
When he moved back home after his father was diagnosed with cancer, Paris came with him.

“She keeps me happy, gives me a sense of getting up and taking care of life,” says Prophit. “She’s been a big part of my life. She’s kept me mentally healthy.”

Paris was last seen on March 6. Prophit has searched the neighborhood for her, put up posters and called shelters and veterinarians. Paris has a microchip and all of her shots.

In the meantime, Prophit doesn’t know what to do. He is having trouble functioning.

“Can’t sleep, hard to eat, taking anxiety pills,” he says.

His mom, Helen Circle, is worried about him.
