A lost English Bulldog stolen from her own backyard a year ago was reunited with her master today after she was picked up by the Miami-Dade Animal Services for wandering loose in southern Florida.
A year earlier Electra, the English bulldog, was playing in the backyard with another bulldog named Monty. The two dogs were having a good time romping around in typical doggy style, when someone jumped over the fence and grabbed both dogs.
English Bulldogs are expensive dogs, with the average cost of a puppy being anywhere from $2000 to $8000 depending on the puppy’s show potential and pedigree. It’s possible that the dognappers thought they could make some quick money by reselling the dogs on the commercial pet trade, and only later found out that older dogs can be harder to find homes for.
We may never know what happened to Monty, as officials have had no success in tracking down the younger bulldog. It’s possible there’s a family out there that purchased the pup without knowing that the dog was stolen.
As for Electra she was returned to her master after the shelter scanned her for microchips and found out who she was. After a tearful reunion with her master a plea was given for those that might know the where about of the second stolen bulldog, Monty.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of Monty, the other missing bulldog, please contact Montesdeoca at (239) 210-1175.
