A New Jersey dog owner says his French bulldog was dognapped in broad daylight is being held for ransom
"By the time I get back outside my car, they had already taken my dog, threw him in the car and sped off," Burgos told NBC New York."I was outside the car when they started driving off," he said."I tried texting them and it wasn’t going through and that’s when I knew: they’re stealing my dog."
Even worse, Burgos said he got a text message from the suspect demanding $8,000 in ransom for the return of his beloved puppy. "Frenchies are very sought after and my dog is rare, worth a lot more money," he said."I was mortified honestly, because it was so close to home." For the first time in three decades, the U.S. has a new favorite dog breed, according to the American Kennel Club. NBC New York's Pei-Sze Cheng reports.
Burgos says he didn't pay and hasn't heard from the accused thief since the weekend. Police are now investigating as a theft.This article tagged under:
