"Patty Hearst: From Kidnapping to Canine Celebrity"

Patricia "Patty" Hearst, the newspaper heiress kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army 50 years ago, is now known for her prize-winning dogs, particularly French bulldogs, at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Her abduction and subsequent involvement in a 1974 bank robbery raised questions about Stockholm syndrome, a psychological coping mechanism used by some hostages. Despite her controversial past, Hearst's trial was one of the most sensational of the 1970s, and she was eventually pardoned by President Bill Clinton after serving 22 months in prison.
