Originally bred for illegal sports, these cute pups have ended up as one of the most popular dog breeds for families, apartment dwellers, and even mascots! Bulldogs, or as I like to call them–gnocchi with legs, may look mad and aggressive but they are really softies on the inside and out. Don't let the intimidating underbite fool you. Just taking a handful of one of their many wrinkles is like squeezing a stress ball.

I bet you think you may know a lot about these pudgy doggies, as they are one of the most well-known dog breeds– BUT you learn something new every day and hopefully, that moment is now. Enjoy this week's collection of fun facts. I promise you there is no BULL involved and it is definitely woof-it.
