He looks like a Staffordshire terrier. A good dog if he has a good master, and vice versa.
I have an American bulldog. He’s a good boy, but only 4 months and a little wild.

You rock! It’s funny how the good stuff on these pups rarely gets noticed. There’s good and bad with everything, and propaganda everywhere.

"Although "Stubby" is widely regarded as the Grandfather of the American War Dog he was not the first by any means. Dogs were commonplace during the Civil War as companions for the soldiers and during the Spanish-American? War, "Jack Brutus" became the official mascot of Company K, First Connecticut Volunteer Infantry.

"Old Jack", as he was known, was considerably bigger than STUBBY and fortunately the Connecticut soldiers never got the chance to try to smuggle him anywhere since they basically spent the War encamped at various places here in the states providing coastal defense from Maine to Virginia. "Old Jack" died of spinal troubles and constipation in 1898."
