I trought I taw a putty cat but then thought Winston Churchill a superb leader - Bulldog Breed. You don't mess with these blokes. They look like Aunty Jack but in reality will lick you to death unless you happen to be a bull. Did you know that they were originally bred for bull baiting?...very brave dogs. Their jaws are big enough to clamp over the bulls nose and bring it to ground by cutting off the air supply - handy with noisy poets.

The wrinkles around the jowls were bred in them to drain the blood of the bull away from their eyes - clear vision is always a good thing. Their short stature meant the bulls horns couldn't easily get under them and sweep them off their feet - always good to have a steadfast leader and they are incredibly strong dogs. Given their size they have a lot of grunt.
Bob I think my choice was superb
