Enter the scene, The “French men” Drako-the-Mako-Malfoy and Pugsley-the-Rock-Weasley! These adorable French bulldogs, welcomed with open arms by the Cogan Family, have effortlessly secured a prime spot in the hearts and hearths of their adoring human companions. In a serendipitous twist, their arrival coincided with the chaotic onset of Covid, presenting the perfect opportunity for the family to dedicate time to puppy training amidst the evolving dynamics of working and schooling from home.

Ensnaring the affection of the entire household instantaneously, these charismatic canines have sparked a passion for their breed that borders on the fanatical. Aimee, the matriarch with a decades-long residence in Sarasota and career with Morgan Stanley, now orchestrates a bustling household where the Frenchies and her daughter, Bella, reign supreme. 

While these four-legged companions may exude an air of nonchalance as they lounge on the family couch, their spirits come alive during jaunts in the neighborhood, playful escapades, and romps in their very own "pet park," where a particular tree stands as a testimony to their ownership.

The allure of Pugsley and Drako extends beyond the confines of their abode, with the Cogan Family finding delight in their daily antics. From Pugsley’s daring escapades under the cover of night—promptly resolved by the swift actions of our vigilant animal patrol—to their shared love for Charlee Bear treats, these French bulldogs lead a life filled with leisure, indulgent naps, and moments of pure relaxation.

Nestled in the luxurious embrace of the Southside neighborhood's Harbor Acres, the Cogans and their charismatic canines have woven bonds of camaraderie with other local canine denizens such as Zeus, Bunny, T, and Remi. Engaging with the pulse of the community through the pages of Stroll Magazine, they relish in tales of neighboring families and embrace the collective spirit that unites them in shared experiences.

As you cross paths with Pugsley and Drako on their leisurely saunters, be sure to extend a warm "Bonjour!" Their charming presence, like a breath of fresh air, is bound to evoke a smile and illuminate your day with the sheer joy they bring to all who encounter them.
