January 13, 2007 - An Alzheimer's patient who had disappeared was tracked down and rescued thanks to a Chicago police dog. 79-year-old Arthur Kolakowski left his Northwest Side home Tuesday night to walk to a nearby store, but didn't return.
Worried relatives searched the area, and passed out flyers with Kolakowski's picture. Police joined the hunt, and checked hospitals and city agencies.
