Thats a fab article. Good publicity for a change & even a mention of how kids love him. We could do with a few articles like this making the national media. Hopefully Billy will help change people in the audiences mind about bul breeds

The original Bullseye in the black and white film was a staffie. In Oliver, he is an EBT. So they got it right probably by accident though. Good to see some good staffie news in the Halifax Courier. I used to live there and never saw anything like this in the newspaper. Made my day that Big grin

I bet, in the original Dickens version, Bullseye would have been a bull and terrier type dog, rather than a proper ebt.
