A man was attacked by a dog and then robbed in the South Shore area early Saturday morning.
Police are searching for two men who pulled off a bizzarre robbery Saturday morning in the South Shore neighborhood. The men apparently used a dog as a weapon.
Around 4:30 a.m. victim was trying to get into his car, which was parked along E. 67th Street near South Jeffery, when the pitbull and its owners came up to him. The owner unleashed the dog onto him so they could rob him. The 30-year-old's black Nissan sedan was still parked there hours later, but the robbers took his wallet, keys and money, and the dog bit his left arm and both legs.
Police say after that, he took himself to the University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment. He was in serious condition. "A well trained dog can cripple you or kill you, simple as that," said Daniel McElroy, has been training dogs for 20 years."A highly trained dog that does obedience, that can do aggression on command, and that can respond to threats to their handler," he said. "I train protection dogs because I want people to be safe from this type of thing, not to be a victim to this type of thing using a dog," he said."It makes everything bad.
