Overview
- Bam Bam, a 14-year-old tan and white dachshund mix with a distinctive forehead birthmark and microchip, was taken from Angel Santiago’s Logan Square backyard on June 5
- PETA has contributed an additional $5,000 to the existing $1,000 reward, bringing the total incentive for the dog’s safe return to $6,000
- Santiago, who is legally blind due to glaucoma and Type 2 diabetes, has declined fundraising campaigns to dedicate all efforts toward finding Bam Bam
- Volunteers and neighbors have joined Santiago’s daily flyer distribution outside Tony’s Fresh Market, sharing the dog’s description and contact numbers
- Despite national tips and the microchip’s tracking potential, no confirmed sightings have been reported and Santiago continues his search
