Missed Connections: Q.E.D.

Hey, puzzlers! Can you help me out? My petting zoo has been set loose around MIT! I need somebody to put up these lost posters. Fortunately the animals are all well-trained, so they've left us some clues.

Have you seen my Alligator? He goes by Frenchie.
Lost: Bull wearing a purple halter top.
Looking for my Cat. Last seen carrying her beige messenger bag.
Missing Dog, probably lost in his purple macbook.
Help my find my Elephant. He should be wearing his maroon brown shirt.
Let me know if you've seen my Frog. She loves being painted by strangers.
I can't find my Gorilla! He never goes anywhere without his large pink binder.
My Horse is missing! Beware: he's an actual monstrosity!
My Iguana was last seen with a blonde eating Chipotle. Let me know if you've seen her!
