Dogs found safe after carjackers steal dog day care van
Posted: 02/19/2015, 07:15am | Sun-Times Staff
Rob Sayre can’t explain exactly what his dog, Jadyn, a Beagle-Labrador mix, means to him — but he tried anyway.
“I’m a single guy, no kids. She’s like my roommate. She’s my friend and and she’s my family,” said Sayre, 40, who was reunited with his pup Thursday afternoon, nearly 24 hours the minivan Jadyn and six other canines were traveling in was carjacked in the River West neighborhood.
The van was found abandoned near 21st and Wabash — dogs still inside — by a Good Samaritan who notified authorities.
Sayre, who lives in Bucktown, rushed to the scene after a reporter heard the news on a police scanner and called him for reaction. He found Jadyn warming up in the back of a police car. “She was hungry and cold and confused, but in good health,” said Sayre, who immediately paid a visit to a veterinarian who gave the nearly eight-year-old dog a clean bill of health.

Glad those pups are safe.
