No one has been arrested yet, according to the dog owner.
This comes as the trend to steal certain dog breeds continues to rise.
“We’ve heard of criminal enterprises stealing dogs and it’s become a real big problem,” said Tom Sharpe of the American Kennel Club.
Officials from the American Kennel Club told Channel 2 Action News back in July, that the French bulldog is currently the number one breed thieves target.
