Update: A $500 reward is now being offered for Napolean's safe reward.
March 22, 2013 (Alpine)--On Tuesday afternoon, March 19, Napoleon, a French Bulldog, went missing from the backyard of his home in Alpine. Napoleon is almost 11 years old and has retired from his job as a therapy dog to live out his days with the Storms family and their 5-year-old daughter, Carson. The dog specialized in working with developmentally disabled adults that have violent tendencies. He is a black-brindle French Bulldog with white markings. He weighs around 25 pounds and was wearing a blue plaid collar.
Napoleon has also been the center of a love story. After taking part in his owners' wedding as a 'Groomsdog' he was on a flight from San Diego to Charlotte, N.C. with a close friend of the family who subsequently met his wife, a Delta flight attendant, during the flight when they started talking about the handsome dog.
There were other dogs in the yard with him at the time and no signs of an escape on his own, so the Sheriff has indicated to family that the dog may have been stolen. The family is still hoping that he somehow escaped and someone picked him up with the intent to find his owner. There is now a $500 reward for his safe return or for information that leads directly to him.
A Facebook page has been set up for people to help find Napoleon by sharing his pictures, downloading & printing flyers to post. Plus if there are any sightings they can post them there. The link is www.facebook.com/BringNapoleonHome
