Bulldog Hops a Baby Gate Like He's Blasting Off to the Moon
When we put up a baby gate in a house with dogs, the reasoning is usually pretty simple: we don't want dogs there. However, just because we put up the gate doesn't mean they're going to follow those rules. In fact, most of the time, it means they're going to get creative just so they can thwart our plans.
In one of the craziest twists of events ever, a Bulldog actually figured out a way over the baby gate in his home. These dogs aren't particularly athletic, but he was willing to give just about anything a go to get over that gate:

I have genuinely never seen a Bulldog move the way that @pinkriderx's Bulldog moves in this video. Every Bulldog I know is throwing a tantrum over just jumping up on the couch, and here he is, becoming an Olympic track star! We don't see what was on the other side in the clip, but it must've been something good.
Don't worry: he was totally fine. He landed and had no injuries, which was definitely a concern for a second there. Bulldogs are not built to be able to jump like this. Judging by the fact that his mom knew to film, though, I feel like it wasn't the first time!

Bruce is a purebred Bulldog, but you'd never know it based on the way he acts. He loves adventure, whether he's outside or finding ways to spice things up inside. He even likes to go for swims, which is crazy:

I'm glad that Bruce's mom lets him live his best life. When you get a Bulldog, you're generally signing up for a specific lifestyle... Only for Bruce to be the complete and total opposite of that. He's lucky he's so funny!
How to Take Care of a Bulldog
Bulldogs need a little more care than other breeds in most cases, mostly because of those smushed faces. They can't breathe as another dog can. That's true for all of them, though some Bulldogs definitely have it worse than others.
Bulldogs typically aren't up for a lot of strenuous activity, but that doesn't mean they don't like to play. They also like to push themselves too far sometimes, so it's important that you make sure they don't hurt themselves. That means:
- Making sure they take breaks while they're running around.
- Keeping them inside more when it's hot out.
- Always having fresh, clean water available for them.
- Watching their breathing for signs of struggle.
Bruce's mom watches him very closely. She has to, or who knows what kind of stunts he'd pull?!
