A California pet shop owner is heartbroken after a band of thieves snagged 12 adorable French bulldogs, worth a cool $100,000. The heist happened at midnight on November 21st at Top Dog Pet Store in Gardena, leaving everyone barking mad.
Security footage shows four masked dudes pulling up in a big white van, smashing into the store, and scooping up the pups like furry prizes. Some doggos were gently carried in cages, while others were **tossed in like sacks of potatoes**. Owner Andres Avalos is beside himself: "They threw them in the van like stuffed toys! It's just awful!"
The whole thing took less than five minutes, but the pain lingers. Avalos says the dog-loving community has been a huge support, but he still feels helpless. He's even offering a **big reward** for the pups' safe return, though the exact amount is a secret.
Police are on the case, but this isn't the first time French bulldogs have been targeted. Back in 2021, even Lady Gaga's furbabies got snatched! Thieves love these wrinkly cuties because they can fetch **thousands of dollars** on the black market. Ugh, why can't people just appreciate pups for their sweet personalities instead of their price tags?
This story serves as a reminder to keep your furry friends extra close, especially if they're of the Frenchie persuasion. And for those considering buying a bulldog, remember: adopt, don't shop! Let's help break the cycle of puppy greed and give every dog a happy ending.
