Let’s help cheer him up!!

I noticed the privacy fence was damaged as I made my way to my D appointment. His beautiful Husky Chicago, went out to play yesterday morning, but was tragically stolen out of the back yard. While, I am/was far less attached to the bugger, my boyfriend is losing his sh!t.

I feel like his reaction is properly warranted, but I’m not making the situation better. He naturally wants to find his pup, so he’s looking around the neighborhood and chasing phantom leads. I haven’t helped look much, but I did sit his kid so that he could do so. However, the facts of the matter are as follows; he lives in an awful neighborhood, Chicago was NOT chipped, there are no eyewitnesses, ultimately there are no leads. My position? I don’t want to necessarily put fourth the effort of locating a STOLEN dog. It was a legitimate burglary, and I doubt we’ll ever recover Chicago, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic.

I really want to stop being insensitive about the situation. I just don’t know what I can contribute, that wouldn’t be a waste of time, and actually would be helpful. Please help me. On one hand it’s a good thing that I am insensitive at times, I rudely asked if he’d like another dog. He’s open to it. I’m looking for other dogs rn. However, his dog was stolen steps away from where my bf was sleeping. He’s been in a sense, emasculated. It’s principal at this point, someone had the gall to come on his property and take his child? He’s so hurt.

Honestly, I’m really in need of his mood to lighten up at least a bit. It’s like walking on eggshells around him, and my response is to just give him space. He wants me around though. It’s weird. God I hate to admit this but I want to leave so bad. I am so frustrated. I find it difficult to put my agitation aside, find a way to help, and keep my sanity during quarantine...

P.S

Chicago is an all white, Blue eyed, male, pure Siberian Husky. If you see him let me know. I don’t have a picture I’m a go to work person, neither a cat or dog person. Also, I’m madly in love in with him but I also don’t like him that much. I’m looking for a nice gesture that I can do like now. I promise, I’m not a mean person I just don’t know how to handle things of this nature.

Edit. His “friend” found the dog. Everyone is extremely excited!!
