Dogs - French bulldog
French Bulldogs
are thought to be descendants of the British Bulldog. Some were taken to France
by British emigrants. The French bulldog is smaller than its English
counterpart, and has erect, bat-like ears. He has a large, square head. He is a
happy-natured dog and makes a good loyal companion. He will often snort when
excited.
Frenchies are born
with short tails (sometimes almost no tail) – they are not surgically docked.

How breeds of dogs developed.
| The English bulldog has small, curled ears, but the French bulldog has large, bat ears. Which one has the better hearing, do you think?
Human ears are wonderfully constructed too, so that we can enjoy sound. If we listen intently, we can hear what we want to hear. We can "turn a deaf ear" to what we don't want to hear.
If God exists, why can't we hear Him speak?
Actually, He speaks to us all the time - through the immense wonder of the day and night sky, for example. But we don't want to hear, for that would mean turning from our self-centeredness. Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" Mark chapter 4, verse 9
