Kidnapped Dogs, Stolen Van Found on Near South Side

Six dogs whose kidnapping inspired the concern of Chicago residents have been found.

The dogs were inside a puppy day care van that was stolen Wednesday afternoon in the 800 block of West Superior Street. Police found the van—with the dogs inside—on the near South Side around 10:45 a.m. Thursday, ABC7 reports.

The dogs—Mochi, Scarlet, Busy, Brad Pitt and Jayden—appear to be in good health.

Police said the van was stolen by two armed black males between the ages of 16 to 25, who likely did not know the dogs were inside.

The pups were being brought home from Urban Out-Sitters, a doggy day care center and professional pet care service in River West.

Patch will update with more info as it becomes available.
