The thing about it is most every cur line has some bull dog in them at some point as do many other breeds. I would say bulldogs as a whole are the most capable breed there is. And that came from hundreds of yrs of battle. Everyone has the right in America to have there own thoughts. But a narrow mind brings narrow opinions

Judge that is what I find so interesting about these dogs, especially back when the game dog world was at its peak, there were many outstanding Bulldogs outside the pit.

 Before Lucenay’s Pete the pup the first Dog Star on the big screen was silent film actor Fatty Arbuckle’s “Jake the dog”

 A Pitbull accompanied the first men to cross America by automobile, his dog-goggles are in the Smithsonian.

 People from Jack Johnson to Hellen Keller owned pitbulls and everyone in between.

But that’s all common knowledge,
I’m more interested in the “forgotten” history.


“Dam-it the dog” was the unofficial mascot of Hardin-Simmons University in Abiline from  1916-1920.

 



 He wandered on to the campus and as legend goes, started acting like he owned the place.

In the days before Air Conditioning classrooms kept their doors open and Dam-it would roam the campus coming and go as he pleases.

 He was beloved by the students and staff, upon his passing he was buried on campus grounds and a headstone was erected that reads….

“Dam-it he is dead”
