Some people may find the image unacceptable but it is a drawing not a photograph. Maybe some artistic licence came into play and the artist was not from the UK for sure. I am not condoning bull baiting. Working dogs do different jobs from decade to decade and differ around the globe. The closest thing that I have seen to this was a lowly collie type dog doing his job when parking up on some permission. Two young but fully grown bulls (can't remember the breed) in the same field properly went for it. The farmer appeared with a collie dog and observered for a while before sending his dog in. That scraggy mut launched himself between the bulls. Got flipped, avoided kicks, came back, got flipped, came back. Used his voice and his mouth and ended up controlling those 2 massive and, in the mood that they were in at the time, very aggressive animals. He separated and them with no damage done and they ran off to opposite ends of the field and calmed down. Now that's a bulldog Quote Link to post

Takes some dog to go between nearly two ton of pent up beef, hooves flying everywhere and heads trashing about, then to separate and send each on their way. Great courage and determination.

Sir Edwin Landseer was once asked the secret of his animal paintings. He replied that he gives them human eyes. Not sure if I agree with that, and he was possibly doing himself a dis-service. Possibly capturing the character and soul of the animal in it's eyes would have been a more accurate explanation. Landseer had that talent and so does your daughter. A talent to be encouraged.
