The French Bulldog Opened the Hallway Door and Found Paper Everywhere

Confetti covers the hallway floor, except it is toilet paper. A black and white pied French Bulldog named Pierre sits in the middle of the shreds with his big bat ears standing straight up and his round eyes opened wide, caught in the exact moment of discovery. Paper scraps cover the rug, a few pairs of shoes sit near the wall and an open door in the background hints at where the roll was found.

French Bulldogs are cheerful, clownish companions known for their big ears and expressive faces. They are sociable and love attention, and that sometimes means they invent their own entertainment. Their short noses mean they can overheat and struggle with heavy breathing, so play sessions should be gentle and well timed, especially in warm weather. A calm indoor game of tug is often a better choice than a chase.

If your dog likes to shred bathroom paper, keep the door closed or move the roll out of reach. Small amounts of paper usually pass without a problem, but a dog that swallows a lot can get an upset stomach or worse, so a call to your vet is wise if you are worried. Offer a toy with a good tearing texture instead.

Pierre, meanwhile, looks like he has just been told the party is over. He sits there in his snowy mess, ears still on high alert, blinking at the sudden attention.
