I'm reading books on Bull Terriers and these stories I HAVE to share.....
1. One dog boldly revealed the murderer of his master by fierce barking to the point that the murderer, thoroughly frightened babbled a confession.
2. Another was left tending a young child on a snowy winter night and saved the child's life by preventing the fire from going out. As the fire glowed low, the dog brushed some ashes from the cool edge of the fire upon some unlighted coals that were too warm to touch. Then with his nose, he shoved the new coals into place to keep the fire going long enough for his master to return and the child to avoid frostbite or death.
3. Six month bull terrier never having ventured to swim went with his master one day to the pool. The master climbed the ladder to the diving board and dived in, disappearing beneath the surface of the water. The dog, seeing it's master swallowed up by the water, threw caution to the winds, actually clambered up the stairs to the diving board, and dove in. Landing on top of it's master, the dog seized him by the hair and pulled him out of the pool.
4. Stories of the tender affection that Bull Terriers have shown for children are legion. In one case, a Bull Terrier was guarding two small children in a downstairs den which faced out on the backyard through a glass door. A rug caught fire, filling the room with smoke. The Bull Terrier, with a powerful thrust of his hind legs, shoved a chair through the glass door to ventilate the room and then grabbed the rug in his teeth, suffering burns himself as he yanked it away from the children. The parents, who were outside heard the commotion and rushed in to rescue the children and praise their pet.
