opera-comic:I like the idea of Watson having a bulldog. It’s only once mentioned that he has a bull pup in a Study in Scarlet, and there it’s not quite clear if it means a literal puppy or is a reference to his sometimes short temper. I went with the first, and tried to give the dog a not so extreme brachycephalic apperance of the modern bulldogs. And my personal idea is, that during the course of his friendship with Holmes he had at least two bulldogs. The one mentioned in A Study in Scarlet, and then during the Hiatus a second one, after the first one died of old age. And the second one helped Watson greatly through his time of grief over the loss of Holmes and his wife Mary. -- source link
