A frantic search for Bridget began as local animal rescue groups and social media users spread the story of the apparent dog-napping.
The dog was found by Hoffman's girlfriend on the morning of Christmas Eve, curled up on the side of the road with no sign of who took her.
"When she approached, Bridget started to wag her tail. Typical Bridget," Hoffman wrote.
The dog suffered a number of injuries, including several deep cuts to her legs.
"She was very dehydrated, had blood in her stool and some sort of rash all over her body. The poor thing was exhausted," the veteran said.
At this time, no arrests have been made in connection to the incident.
