    Here's another paper that mentions Stubby to be a "handsome boston bull terrier."

    That's who papers pointing out that he wasn't an American pit bull terrier... what will the nutters have to fall on now?

    "But Stubby was technically a pit bull!"

    But not an American or Staffordshire... Bad Rap has a lot of cleaning up to do on their pit bull history page...

    You should do a truth blog on Stubby! If it's not the "America's dog" claim I hear, it sure is the Stubby one!
