    I'm trying to get a bulldog and I'm nervous about leaving him in the truck while I shower because they overheat easily. What are good techniques to keep him cool for the short time I'm out of the truck?

    If you can’t idle the truck and don’t have an APU you don’t need an animal in the truck. They do have breathing issues and the heat makes it worse.

    Keep in mind, bulldog pups are prized. $$$$. Certain people will try to steal them. Be cautious when you stop to shower.

    If you bring him in the shower. The girls at the front desk will have to smother him with loving first.
    Definitely English?
    Don’t get French Bulldog. You’ll die laughing from their snorting.

    He said he doesn’t know what you are talking about! Lol plus over the farting you almost can’t hear the snoring. I do have to alert anyone on the phone first what all the racket is in the background because he is usually laying beside me on the couch when I am on the phone.
