Bull terriers are a breed of dog with a distinctive "egg shaped" head and triangular eyes. They were originally bred to hunt vermin and for animal blood sports. Bull terriers are loyal, polite and obedient and make good family pets, but need firm leadership and supervision. They don't like being left alone, so will not be for everyone. They are a very energetic dog and may be boisterous around very small children. They are not suitable for a household with other pets as they may be aggressive towards them, and are recommended for experienced dog owners.

Bis forBullet

A bullet is a small, heavy, pointed object that is fired from a gun at high speed. Bullets are made mostly from lead coated in copper. The reason they are coated is because lead has a relatively low melting point, and in some guns the bullets come out of the gun so hot the lead melts. Copper has a higher melting point. Bullets existed before guns, and were much rounder and made of lead or were just small round stones. They were used in slingshots.
