French Bulldog

Authorities say thieves are snatching French Bulldogs because the breed is so in-demand and a single puppy can sell for thousands of dollars online. Melissa Colorado reports.

Three suspects were arrested this week for attacking a man in a South San Francisco hotel room and stealing his French bulldog puppy last month, police said Friday.

The man who was shot by thieves as he walked Lady Gaga’s French bulldogs expressed gratitude to family, friends, first responders and health care workers after his ‘very close call with death.’

Lady Gaga took to Instagram Friday afternoon, sharing photos of her dogs Koji and Gustav and offering a $500,000 reward for their safe return while calling her dog walker a hero after he was shot, and the dogs were stolen in Hollywood.

A man who was walking two French bulldogs was shot Wednesday night in Hollywood. TMZ reported that the dogs belonged to Lady Gaga, who was reportedly offering a reward in the case. NBCLA reached out to Los Angeles police, who could not confirm any ties to the singer-songwriter.

A Chicago-area woman was fatally mauled by a French bulldog she had rescued, police said Wednesday.

With the summer on the horizon, the Southern California waves are starting to call the names of many, including a French bulldog who has made surfing her charitable hobby.
