BERWYN, Ill. — An Illinois family is pleading for answers and any information that could lead to the safe return of their beloved dog.
On Sunday afternoon, Rafael Corona’s white 2017 Subaru Forester SUV was stolen from his garage in an alleyway near Cermak Road and Ridgeland Avenue. Inside was his 14-year-old tan and white Pomeranian, Wally.
Around 1 p.m., Corona and his family were loading up the SUV and preparing to go to the laundromat.

“As I was coming down, my dog followed me. I let him in the car and turned the car on to warm it up, didn’t think much of it. I quickly circled back to grab some bags for laundry and help my wife with our two-year-old,” Corona said.
“As I got to the garage, it was empty.”
Corona said he immediately ran outside, called 911, and began frantically looking for any sign of the SUV or Wally. His family has gone door-to-door and talked to nearby businesses about checking surveillance cameras. On Monday, they’re hanging flyers in the area to help reach more people.
