Hollister woman assaulted in the face after walking in on two suspects stealing her French Bulldog

HOLLISTER, Calif. (KGO) -- A Hollister woman named Amanda says she's in a lot of pain after being attacked during what police say is the city's first French Bulldog theft.

Hollister Police confirm Amanda came home Thursday around 11:30 a.m. and walked in on two suspects armed with handguns. Surveillance video shows her entering the home and the suspects yell inaudibly at her. A second surveillance video shows Amanda's 10-month-old pregnant Frenchie, Melani, in the arm of one suspect as the two run out the door.
