Put yourself in their shoes. . . what if this was your dog that for whatever reason got out and was lost, wouldn't you want the person who has him to do every thing possible to return him to you and for him to be safely back in your arms?

I have had some scares with my little ones getting out and I go crazy searching for them. I'm very thankful that I have good neighbors who assist me when it comes to getting my babies safely back home.

All of my dogs wear tags. . . 24/7 Rabies, county dog tags and an identification tag that says:
My name, phone number and " take me home" or " call my mommy" on the back.

I'm not sure how the law and animal control operates in Chicago but it seems a bit sad that more hadn't been done to reunite this pup with it's owners.

I wonder if you have first hand information of the facts. Were you there during conversations or interaction between them or if you only know what took place by what your friend told you? Did I miss the part where animal control was contacted and why was the dog not taken from your friends home. How did the police get involved? There seems to be a lot of information missing that might be helpful to those of us who are concerned about the dog and why is was not returned to it's family.
