The Drop (4½ Stars)

You don't have to be alone forever.

If you have a dog you're never alone. This is especially true if you have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, probably the most affectionate breed of dog. If you show a dog only the slightest affection he'll love you unconditionally for the rest of his life. Dogs don't judge. You may be a terrible person, but your dog will love you. He'll always be there to lay his head on your leg or lick your hand. Your husband or wife might leave you, but your dog will always love you faithfully. Even if you're gone for years, when you return your dog will run to greet you as if not a day has past.

P. S. In England Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Pitbulls are two distinct breeds. In America they're not differentiated, and they're both called Pitbulls.
