BULL DOG. 
The Bull Dog is much smaller than the 
mastiff, but not inferior in fierceness. It has 
a pretty large head, neck, and breast. Those 
of a brindled colour are accounted the best 
of die kind. This creature will naturally 
run at, and seize the fiercest bull, without 
barking, running directly at his head ; and 
sometimes catching hold of his nose, will pin 
the bull to the ground, and make him roar in 
a terrible manner; nor can he, without great 
difficulty, be made to quit his hold. Two 
of these Dogs let loose at once, are thought 
to be a match for a bull, three for a bear, and 
four for a lion.
