CHICAGO — Thursday morning went from bad to worse for a West Town man after his dog ran out of the house and then he got robbed at gunpoint while looking for the pooch. There is some good news, though: the dog has been found.
The man’s pug ran out of the house around 2:20 a.m., and the owner, a 39-year-old man, stepped outside to look for him.
Less than ten minutes later, as the owner searched the 600 block of North Wolcott, a car pulled up and two men got out with guns, a CPD spokesperson said. They aimed the guns at the man, demanded his property, and escaped with his wallet and phone.
The getaway car, possibly a white Hyundai Elantra, was last seen heading west on Erie Street. Cops searched the area for the robbers but came up empty-handed. The men were described as young Hispanic males wearing black and white clothing.
About 20 minutes after the victim called 911, searchers found the pug.
