Dog is GOD spelled backwards. It is GOD's noblest creature. The give unconditional love. I like dogs and I think people treat dogs as kids, as they should.
My son's bulldog is a very docile, gentle dog. All it wants to do is be petted and gladly rolls on its stomach to be tickled. His first bulldog was a character. He would be dead asleep in the bedroom and if one came throught he door with a pizza, he would be the first one at the dinner table barking for some crust.
