The French bulldog becomes most popular dog breed of 2024
The French Bulldog just flipped the script and stole the spotlight! After 31 years, the Labrador Retriever finally got dethroned as America’s most popular dog breed.
The Labradors ruled the hearts of Americans, charming families with their playful energy and unwavering loyalty. They were considered the golden standard of canine companionship, adored for their intelligence and versatility. But every dog has its day, and a new star has risen to claim the crown.
Enter the French Bulldog, the charismatic little pooch with a personality that punches above its weight. With its adorable bat ears and smooshed face, it quickly became a social media sensation. Instagram feeds were soon flooded with countless Frenchie photos, melting hearts with their irresistible cuteness.
So, what charms the Americans the most about these irresistible Frenchies? Perhaps it’s their playful antics and never-ending ability to make you smile.
Their imaginative and mischievous nature can turn even the most stressful day into a delightful adventure. Whether it’s stealing socks or snatching treats from unsuspecting hands, these little clowns have an innate talent for brightening any moment.
But it’s not just their penchant for comedy that has won them our affection. French Bulldogs are known to be gentle and loving companions, always ready to cuddle up by your side after a long day.
Their friendly nature makes them ideal family pets, bringing joy and harmony into homes across the nation. However, amidst the overwhelming cuteness, it’s important to remember that popularity often comes at a cost.
French Bulldogs, like many other trendy breeds, have faced challenges associated with overbreeding. Health issues such as breathing problems and back ailments can be prevalent in these adorable wrinkly faces. So, let’s rejoice in their newfound popularity while urging responsible breeding practices to ensure their well-being.
In this tale of two dog breeds, there is no ultimate winner. Both the French Bulldog and the Labrador Retriever have unique personalities and characteristics that make them beloved companions. This changing of the guard reminds us that our love for dogs is ever-evolving, and our preferences may shift over time.
So, whether you’re a fan of the classic Lab or the trendy Frenchie, every dog deserves a loving home and a wagging tail. Let’s cherish our four-legged friends, celebrate the diversity in our furry companions, and embrace the joy they bring to our lives!

Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, Ghana’s longest-serving First Lady from 1981 to 2001, passed away on October 23, 2025, at Ridge Hospital in Accra after being admitted unresponsive.
She founded the 31st December Women’s Movement in 1982 to promote women’s entrepreneurship, education, and political participation, and became the first woman to run for president in 2016 under the National Democratic Party.
Her death, five years after her husband Jerry Rawlings’ passing, has drawn tributes from public figures, citizens, and institutions for her advocacy in gender equality and rural development.
A Life of Influence and Resilience
Married in 1977, she stood by Rawlings through his meteoric rise—from Air Force officer to leader of two coups in 1979 and 1981, and eventually to elected president under the Fourth Republic from 1993 to 2001.As First Lady for over two decades (intermittently from 1979 to 2001), she redefined the role, founding the 31st December Women’s Movement in 1982 to champion women’s rights, education, and economic independence.
Often dubbed the “Hillary Clinton of Africa” for her political ambition and unyielding presence, she broke barriers by becoming the first woman to run for Ghana’s presidency in 2016 under the National Democratic Party (NDP), which she founded after parting ways with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Though her 2012 bid for the NDC nomination fell short, her advocacy left an indelible mark, influencing policies on gender equality and community development.
She outlived her husband by nearly five years; Rawlings died in November 2020 at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
In her later years, she remained active, attending public events like a funeral in the Ashanti Region just two weeks before her death, where she was seen singing hymns alongside dignitaries.
Her memoir, launched in recent years, offers a firsthand account of her journey from 1948 onward, underscoring her call for better documentation of African history.
Funeral arrangements are pending official family announcement, but flags are expected to fly at half-mast as Ghana honors a matriarch whose voice amplified the marginalized for generations. Rest in power, Nana Konadu—your fire continues to light the path for Ghanaian women.
The first wife of Ghana’s highlife Legend Daddy Lumba, Akosua Serwaa Fosuh together with her sister Ernestina Fosuh on Wednesday 15th October, 2025 filled a petition with the German embassy in Ghana, Germany’s BKA, and Ghana’s CID, seeking an independent investigation into his July 26, 2025, death at the Bank hospital in Accra and the arrest of his second wife Marion ‘Odo Broni’ Awuku and manager Roman Fada for alleged negligence.
The petition highlights conflicting reports on his final days amid family disputes over his legacy and funeral arrangements scheduled for December 6, 2025, in Kumasi. The Fosu Royal Family defends Odo Broni under Ashanti customs, while Daddy Lumba’s children call for unity.
