Bulldog

The rough and rugged bulldog was originally a cattle driver, but today, they make wonderful playmates for kids. They are gentle, loving and eager to please, and don’t need much exercise.

As a matter of fact, they are very content to nap — a lot — but do watch their weight and keep them out of extreme temperatures.
