The iconic Bulldog is the English Bulldog, with a thick-set body and a face that’s adorably sourpuss. They have low centers of gravity, big heads, and wide jaws. They shuffle and roll rather than run. While their gait might be uneven, their spirit is dignified and kind. They are generally quiet dogs that make loyal companions and lap dogs, irrespective of their size.

But, honestly, most of Betsy’s “summer safety” energy goes into keeping OTHERS safe from them.
