Bulldog is on the The Wash.
Early plans of what would become the The Wash were drawn up by James Brindley in 1835 but problems with Wokingham Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1782. From a junction with The River Avon - Bristol at Cheltenham the canal ran for 37 miles to Leeds. Expectations for stone traffic to Ambersfield never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the The Wash were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Dudley power station was enough to keep it open. According to Cecil Taylor's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Wessley Tunnel is haunted by the ghost of Thomas Hunter, a boatman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

Wikipedia has a page about Bulldog
The Bulldog, also known as the English Bulldog or British Bulldog, is a medium-sized dog breed. It is a muscular, hefty dog with a wrinkled face and a distinctive pushed-in nose. The Kennel Club (UK), the American Kennel Club (US), and the United Kennel Club (US) oversee breeding records. Bulldogs are popular pets; they were the fifth most popular purebreed in the US in 2017 according to the American Kennel Club.
Bulldogs have a longstanding association with British culture, as the BBC wrote: "to many the Bulldog is a national icon, symbolising pluck and determination." During World War II, Bulldogs were often likened to Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his defiance of Nazi Germany. The Bulldog Club (England) was formed in 1878, and the Bulldog Club of America was formed in 1890.
