On July 3, a FedEx driver stole a dog who broke loose from her property in North Carolina. The French Bulldog was a champion dog worth more than $5,000. Unfortunately, she passed away soon after, and her remains were found a few days later on July 10. Authorities believe the pup was left in the delivery truck in the sweltering summer heat. This could have led to her overheating and eventually passing away.
