Bud the "bulldog" crosses America in 1903
Hello fans,
I'm watching the PBS special on the first automobile crossing of the United States. The drivers picked up a "bulldog" in Idaho for $15 and he accompanied them for the rest of the trip. If this were not a postive story, the dog would be labeled a pitbull, because that's clearly what he is. Today, that dog would be seized and executed in many locations along the cross country route, including Cleveland, where the automobile was made. this is michael reporting live... http://dogtv.com |

OK, So I never read things that michael usually writes, but I must say... I
watched this program last week and it really was fascinating. If you have a chance to see it, do so. IT's about the first road trip across the US. -- Shelley & Rusty http://www.bump.us/rusty "michae.l" wrote in message news Hello fans, I'm watching the PBS special on the first automobile crossing of the United States.

I watched it too. It was simply a great story. I loved it that 'BUD' got to
go along. I was also amazed that they paid $15.00 for him, simply because that was quite a bit of money in those days! I kept trying to point him out to my dog, but he has no interest in TV. |
