A recent New York Times piece warned that thieves have increasingly targeted French Bulldogs for theft and become more violent, and that a Facebook group devoted solely to lost French bulldogs warned owners “ Do not let them get out of your sight” Criminals are making more money from stealing Frenchie’s than robbing convenience stores,” the Times reported.

According to the American Kennel Club (AKC) French Bulldogs are the 2nd most popular dog breed in the United States, second only to the labrador retriever which has been in the number one spot since 1991.
