"Bear" Found? (Not Found)
Running down the Dan Ryan around 63rd Street a short time ago.
That's a long way from home.
Welcome back.
UPDATE: WBBM AM 780 reported twice this morning that the dog was found. Now we're getting conflicting reports. Someone nail this down please.
UPDATE: Evidently, another police dog escaped and was running down the Dan Ryan this morning which necessitated the shut down of the expressway.

Only if Mealer could get lost!
Bear was found at 63rd and Dan Ryan? Sounds like he wanted to go back to work.
Thank goodness!
Just goes to show that you can take "Bear" out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of "Bear".
Feed him!
YAY!
So happy to hear!
He was touring the area for chalike with negative results.
Glad to hear he's back.
Any word on the missing K-9 Bear? That was a sad story.

Rumor has it that Bear went over the fence because he was tired of working without a contract!!

LOL, that was good.
He went to piss on Daley's house.
As of 08:55, NOT found per K9 office.
Please keep your eyes open.
Thanks to everyone that has helped.
County, A2 dicks, streets and San guys, postal workers, citizens and 22nd district were all out yesterday.
If it was my dog I'd be going nuts.
K9 guy.
It's not Bear's fault. He fell into bad habits after having to sniff for contraband. He took a few days off to experiment for himself. He is now sure of the direction in which he wants to head in his life. He has rededicated his life to da Mare, Jodi, and the Dept.
he is a good bear.save him get out of the hood.
"Bear" was merely tracking the scent of the bad guys. He was going to go up the off-ramp at 63rd St. until he was rudely interrupted by some disillusioned knee jerk do-gooder.
Make "Bear" a commander. He's got more common sense than most of the current brass.
That is great news. Rich King is one of the nicer guys you will find, on and off duty.
Glad everything turned out the way it did!
Here's hoping he didn't eat someone first !
I am so THRILLED to read this!
When I read in the Trib about his plight, it made me so sad.
It's wonderful that this story had a happy ending. Dogs become our family, and Bear is very special.
I know his owner will give him a big T-Bone steak and a party today!
All the prayers for his safe return were answered. Praise GOD!
Thank God....My prayers have been answered.
Welcome home, office!
Welcome home Bear..!!
He was fed up with the streets and was headed to HQ to hide out. I'm glad he was found.
Good for Bear, and the handler. I think he was doing what coppers do-looking to make a pinch!
Oh good!
I'm still getting computer messages about Bear still lost.
As of 9:50 AM, CPD Operations Command and News Affairs state that "BEAR" has NOT yet been found.
His partner is a dog!
How many days do you get for losing your dog ?
not yet!!!
Aside from the imbedded ID microchip, was "Bear" wearing any collar or tags? If so, please describe.
I understand that we can anonymously contribute to the $2,000 reward already offered for his safe return. How?
Can we assume that all suburban police depts. are also aware of the missing dog? CPD Point-to-Point "All Call" broadcast at frequent intervals? Is there any possibility that "Bear" might be trying to return to a previous owner?
Have all local media, particularly the "urban" radio stations broadcast this information and the reward (no questions asked)?
Can other CPD dogs or scent-trained bloodhounds track "Bear" from the last confirmed sighting?
BBM just said it was ANOTHER police dog this morning and that Bear is still missing.
Question: aren't law enforcement dogs trained to ignore loud noises like gunshots, etc.? Seems odd that bear would be storm-freaked.
I hope it is him, safe and sound.
It's true, he was found in the ghetto.
Now, his handler is having a hard time with the dog because he won't eat anything but Harold's fried chicken.
Speaking of K9, any word on the results from the test??
Allegedly, Bear, distraught over the Recent Lieutenant Exam results became despondant and depressed. He met up with several other hard working PO Dogs behind the 7-11 at 87th and xxxxxx where they held an impromptu "meeting" regarding this. After consuming many "pops" and having brief (VERY brief) contact with the sole female PO Dog there,Bear wandered off into the wild sniffing hither and yon for what he knows best....BAD GUYS. Finding none bear began to question his worth in the department. He found a niche in an alley and rested for a while. While resting he noticed his Checkerboard Dog Collar in a reflection in a pool of water in the alley.Suddenly,without warning,bear began to bark loudly. A surge of energy overcame Bear and he was last seen running back to the Area to return to duty..........
Welcome back Buddy....go get em
dog looking to hang with the dogs...
"Good Dog" A happy ending..
Just as long as it wasn't Gaylord "Greg" M. Focker who found Bear..check his tail to see if it was spray painted to match Bear's tail. If you don't get it..watch "Meet the Parents" with Ben Stiller.
The dog doesn't even have thumbs Focker!
Jeez, this no contract BS from shortshanks has EVERY member of the department upset! Is Bear challenging residency? Hope he turns up safe!
Just got off the phone with a Canine Handler friend of mine and as of 1440 hours this date, BEAR is still missing.
BEAR has an embedded microchip so if found he can be identified at almost any vets office or animal shelter.
Stay safe, keep your eyes peeled and keep sniffin' around.
Sadly, even the dogs want to escape the department now. That's how low the morale has sunk - - even the dogs want out.
Maybe these dogs haven't actually run away...maybe they're out searching for our contract!!!
Was the dog running north or south?
Perhaps he was heading for Indiana where the dog food and smokes are cheaper.
OBAMA snubs National Police Memorial.
I guess it was more important to meet with the Philadelphia Phillies at the White House then to honor our fallen and their families.
You said they found Doty and Owens.
Woof!
We're boycotting the Stuttering Prick and da WEISel with a "walk out".
Runaway CPD German Shepherd canine
rally in Garfield Park near the bandstand at 03:00 hrs. tomorrow.
Woof! Woof!
I'm thinking a little remedial training might be in order for a couple of canines up in Grayslake.
Ok, with all the expense that goes into these dog, I just have one question. Is there no microchip in the pooch? That should be standard! Hell, the city has GSP in everything else.
I hope Bear gets found soon and he's safe.
Apparently, they are sick and tired of Jody, too.
bear last seen in 025 district, shacking up with a brown chihuahua, named lupe. says his handler can pick up his i.d. and star at gigi's and kiss my doggy ass. ARF ARF !!!
Off, the record, the new tahoes have started to arrive in districts. Here are some safety issues with them:
1. Bad guys can reach around past the velcro to grab you or your partner. Make sure everyone is cuffed if they are in you back seat!!!
2. The camer housing leaks water when it rains, watch out so you don't get electricuted.
3. Most new vehicles sirens and lights are not properly hooked up-ship it back.
4. The cup holder is in the door-don't burn you leg on the hot coffee!
5. Make the city pay dearly since they won't give us a raise, the tahoe gets about 10 miles to the gallon!!!
6. No rear dome light to see what reports you need.
7. Use caution when shifting gears and using the pdt-liable to put gear shift in another gear!!!
8. Good luck in the winter-no 4 wheel drive!
Take care, stay safe and back each other up.
Jeez, how many times does a k9 guy have to "lose" his dog? Has this happened to anyone else in that unit?
no show for obama at police memorial
I saw bear on 79th and cottage trying to buy some "ROCKS"
When politicians hear the clap of thunder from the US Attorney, they scurry over the fence too!
Bear has more street time than PPO J-Pud. More Brains than Toddler. More ethics tha Daley and Blago. The reward should be higher!
I did hear that he had a microchip but microchips are not GPS. They only function if you take them to a shelter and they scan them. I hope they do find him though. I can't imagine what the handler must be going through.
Keep your eyes open guys. I hope he didn't wander into the wrong hands. My guess is he probably took off towards Oak Lawn.
Also, shouldn't the city offer a reward? I'm sure it would be worth it considering the amount of money and time that goes into these guys. If someone does have him, they are probably waiting for a reward to be offered. Just my .02.
you would think there would be more info on Bear. on the news, have been looking for him and can''t believe the aount of people who don't know this k9 is missing need more news coverage!
You said they found Doty and Owens.

ahhhh another dogass who was kicked off tact because he/she was brinigng in one head a period in 021.
It's Chicago's still to lose in 2016 Olympics race
Hey, I'll donate to this reward for Bear's safe return. Can FOP get off its ass and do something for our fellow (canine)officer?
I hope to God some shithead doesn't find this dog first.
Ernie Brown was just on CNN News if that is the best this department can do then we really blow.
Just promote another incompetent black dude.
Shit, even our police dogs are trying to get away from the screwed up way this department is run.

Oh Yea? explain the shaggy hair!
""7. Use caution when shifting gears and using the pdt-liable to put gear shift in another gear!!!""
Does the FlOP have anything to say about this?? The problem is EXACTLY the same in the cars that have the Plate readers and the larger Motorola PDT......Flip the screen up or down to get to the blower controls or the light bar controls, and put it in a different gear.
But you know, It's just all our fault. No matter what they do we are just a bunch of whiny bitches.
Aren't we ever satisfied? Gee whiz, new cars new toys new technology and we just aren't happy..........
CAUSE YOU @)**$$0's just can't get it right and don't care.
One of my favorite quotes from Colin Powell:
Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.
Still getting all-Call messages on Citywide-1 regarding missing canine....Bear is still missing....Hope he is found in good condition.
TWO dogs ran away? HHHMMMM Let me think for a second... Dogs (the 4 legged kinds) are usually the first to run away when a large storm is coming. (Tornadoes, Hurricanes...) Well dog gone, you aint got to tell me twice, IM OUTTA HERE! Seems to me like a big shit storm is brewing on the old C.P.D. !
Hmmm, I hear there have been multiple incidents in the ghetto of gang bangers being attacked by a large dog and having the shit bitten out of them. You don't suppose....
to the guy talking shit about guys that use to work 021 tact- get over it we are- and glad to be gone so enjoy your self there other wise shut the fuck up or sign or your name so we can finish this discussion in person!

There aren't that many black exempts on this Godforsaken PD in the first place...but if you think that MEALER, KENNY, ALVARADO, RODRIGUEZ, BRIAN MURPHY, PAT DALY, PETER BRUST, STEVE PETERSON or even DAN DUGAN have set a finer example of what it is to be a "real boss," then you're beyond stupid. There's plenty of incompetence in that group to go around, and we haven't even discussed the CAPTAINS yet!

HINT AS TO IDENTITY OF ABOVE:(mr. BIG BAD DUDE)
A. Gelled Hair
B. Pants 2 sizes too small hiked

C. BIG GUN to compensate for
short comings in other areas.
D. Lack of Testicular Fortitude
(AKA: NO BALLS)
E. Talks as if he/she was ex high
school foot ball jock(come ON man Im gonna kick your ass MAN)
F.Mostlikely has parents on the job.
G. When you mention "getting some head(s) he immediately drops to his knees and opens his mouth obviously misunderstanding what you meant.
H. works in 021 I mean COME ON ALREADY get on a real Tact Team bitch boy,or dont you want to give up cruising U of C looking to impress college girls with your shiny police badge and war stories about the mass ANOV tickets you write.Unfucking believe able.
I. Still sees Mommy so as to hear
words of support and comfort
SINCE HE CANT GET IT ANYWHERE ELSE INCLUDING HIS JOB.
Descriptive enough? Wait a year.....he will probably bid into TRU with the REST of the Wastes on this Job.
Like I posted before when we thought Bear had been found...then they said it wasn't him. I kept praying and in faith and so naming & claiming it, indeed "Bear" WAS found.
Dogs ARE just like our children, and it must be doubly so for PO's and their canine partners. Everyone on here making nasty & stupid comments, please #1) learn to read and comprehend the facts & #2) don't be so mean spirited to a loving animal who got spooked by thunder. All you haters probably had run-ins w/ the po po & still are mad u got caught!
Everyone knows that storms bring atmospheric changes that animals can sense on a different level - read about all the animals that were bolting before the tsunami's hit indonesia!
Anyway, All's well that ends well and Bear deserves his big t-bone steak!
BTW, is it really a good idea, Tribune, to publicise the address/block where the officer & Bear Live??? I think NOT ...Now you'll have nuts and trolls strolling the block looking to cause him more grief!(I hope not, but PO King, keep your eyes on him).
