Man steals French Bulldog after trying to pay with fraudulent credit card, police say

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – Officers are searching for a stolen two-month-old French Bulldog. The coveted puppy with blue and brown eyes has complete heterochromia, a condition that causes one iris to be a different color than the other.

A man stole the “Frenchy” on Nov. 2 from the Forever Love Puppies, at 7801 Johnson St., after trying to pay with a fraudulent credit card, according to the Pembroke Pines Police Department.

Ryan Araya, the manager of the store, said there was confusion about what to do next.

“They got all upset and they just stormed out with the dog in their arms,” Araya said. “One of our workers tried to take a picture of their plate.”

Detective Aner Gonzalez is asking anyone with information about the puppy’s whereabouts to call 954-431-2200.
