Some dogs have no business being as cute as they are, and this French Bulldog was exactly that kind of dog. So when I found out for the first time in 31 years, the Frenchie beat out Labrador Retrievers as the most popular dog breed in the U.S., I wondered what took so long. Mind you, my first dog was an insanely cute Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd mix and I know how much fun those dogs are, but this Frenchie will forever be the most entertaining dog I’ve ever dogsat.

When I arrived at the home, I knew this dog was going to be a handful. I noticed the obstacle course set up by the pet fence, and I’d never seen anything like it. In addition to a regular gate between the living room and the dining room, there was a small brick, a pile of books and a lock. I asked why all of that was there and the owner smiled and said, “You’ll see.”
