Animal behavior is one of our favorite topics on our weekly TV show, Matanglawin.
Recently, we talked about bulldogs.
Many people shy away from the idea of having a bulldog – bully, as affectionately called by dog enthusiasts.
Bulldogs have an aggressive, fierce appearance. However, contrary to their appearance, bulldogs are very playful and affectionate.
They are becoming a popular pet choice in various countries over the last few years. Bulldogs were used in a sport called bullbaiting in England in the 19th century.
Through the years, they have been adopted and tamed by humans.
Matanglawin TV featured The Bully Show, an event for bully lovers to gather, showcase their beloved bullies, and promote awareness for the breed they love.
