Bam Bam is home.

The 14-year-old Dachshund captured the hearts and minds around the globe after he’d been reported stolen in June from his Logan Square owner, Angel Santiago. Santiago is legally blind due to glaucoma and relied on Bam Bam as an emotional support dog.

The pair was reunited Tuesday night, police said, after a man and woman dropped Bam Bam off at Chicago Police’s 16th District station. Officers said the dog appeared in good health. Detectives are still investigating the theft, and no one is in custody.

Santiago told the Tribune Wednesday morning he thanked God for being reunited with his beloved Bam Bam.

“I prayed every day and night,” he said.

Bam Bam was reportedly stolen from Santiago’s yard on June 5, according to a GoFundMe created to help raise money for Bam Bam
