A French bulldog puppy has been stolen at gunpoint in California in the latest incident involving the valuable breed being targeted by criminals.
The owner had listed the 10-month-old dog for sale in an advertisement on social media and had gone to Canterbury Drive in Culver City for a meeting with a prospective buyer on Wednesday evening.
When the owner put the dog in the trunk of his vehicle for viewing, the suspect pulled out a semi-automatic handgun from his waistband, grabbed the animal and ran away, Culver City police said.
