A brindle and white Bulldog chews on a red ribbon from a torn kraft paper present on a carpeted living room floor. 7 / 24

The Bulldog Found a Ribbon, and It Was Now Officially His

AI imagebulldogribbonchristmas

With his jowls spread and a red ribbon dangling from his mouth, a brindle and white Bulldog crouches over a torn brown paper package. His wrinkled face is serious, his round dark eyes stare into the distance, and shreds of paper are scattered across the carpet. A tree, a gray sofa, and a pile of blankets sit behind him in the sunny living room.

Ribbons are one of the most common holiday hazards for dogs. Chewed ribbon, string, and tape can be swallowed, and long strands can cause a serious intestinal blockage. It is safest to keep wrapping materials away from dogs, clean up quickly after gift opening, and offer a safe chew toy as a distraction. If you think your dog has swallowed any ribbon, call your vet right away.

Bulldogs are known for being gentle, stubborn, and affectionate dogs with a love of lounging. Their short noses can make breathing harder in hot weather or during hard exercise, so they do best with moderate activity and a cool home. They also love chewing, so sturdy toys are a must, and a vet can help you choose safe ones.

At the moment, our Bulldog seems pleased with his find. He grips the ribbon like a trophy, ready to defend it from anyone, though a quick swap for a treat will probably do the trick.
