American bulldog

American Bulldogs were used for hunting purposes and guard dogs on farms.

The American Bulldog has originated from an "English" or "British" Bulldog, (as they are sometimes called.) But there are only a few similarities between them. The American bulldog is far more athletic than the English Bulldog. The American bull-dog is said to be more like the original bulldog, which was bred for fighting. The British bulldog changed because breeders favored a shorter-legged dog.

The bow-legged, sag-backed English bulldog waddles around, but the athletic American bulldog runs! A well-trained dog can be given freedom to run around. He is obedient and will obey his master's command to go the way the master wants.

We humans, if we obey our divine Master, have a freedom and a joy in pleasing God. Like king David of Israel sang, "I run in the path of your commands, O God, for you have set my heart free!"

Psalm 119 verse 32
