Found brindle terrier with red collar near Navy Pier
I found a dog this afternoon around 3:15 pm wandering near the riverwalk by the Navy Pier entrance in Chicago. It's a brindle terrier, about mid-size, roughly 28 pounds, with a bright red nylon collar and a blue ID tag that reads 'MILO.' The coat is a bit dirty from the walk, and he has a small white patch on his chest. He seems friendly and leash-trained, and responds when I call 'Milo.' I checked for a microchip at a nearby clinic but didn't see any registry; if this is your pup, send me a message here and we can verify and get him home.

It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my late aunt and I really need it back.

The box is a bit dented on the top-left corner. It was a gift from my grandmother and has sentimental value for my kids, so I’d really appreciate getting it back. If you found it, shoot me a note at [email protected] and we can figure out a meetup near the Bean or the south entrance of Millennium Park.

Blue-lid contact lens case with star sticker
Yesterday around 3pm I realized my small contact-lens case was missing after I left the Starbucks on State Street in downtown Chicago.
