Bulldog

The bulldog maybe mean looking, with that muscular body standing low to the ground, those far apart eyes, and oh, not to mention those thick wrinkled folds of skin, almost intimidating, but yes, still, another favorite with families in the United States.

Could it be that they are so, how can I put this, maybe soooo "Joe Coolish" or is it because they just love humans and want to hang out with us.

Maybe they are ranked at number 7 this year, for that face; one look, and you almost feel sorry, how could you not want a dog that has a mug like that?

This dog is so friendly, is easy to train and needs little exercise. They get along with children nicely, and with other pets and animals....... No wonder this breed is in the top ten! Goes to show, looks can be deceiving.
