The man, who is legally blind and suffers from glaucoma and Type 2 diabetes, tried in vain to stop the thieves.
Santiago believes he heard the perpetrators and later said that one of them must have been a teenager in long-sleeved clothing.
Bam Bam's owner went to great lengths to find him, walking miles every day and distributing flyers in the hopes of finding his 14-year-old pup.
His efforts even caught the attention of PETA, which offered a $6,000 reward for any information leading to Bam Bam.
A social media movement soon followed, with dog lovers anxiously awaiting Bam Bam's return and sharing information about his disappearance.
On Tuesday, a miracle occured: Bam Bam was safely returned!
Per WGN, the dog is currently at a local police station, and Santiago is on his way to him.
