Two months ago, Alicja Pierzchala rescued Peppa the French bulldog from being euthanized.

Now Pierzchala and her family are trying to rescue Peppa again, this time from a thief who stole the 6-year-old black French bulldog at gunpoint this week during an evening walk through the Portage Park neighborhood.
