Champion Bull Dog
When I first saw this postcard I thought the dog was rather ugly. But with time I’ve mellowed and I’ve become rather fond of this vintage card postmarked 1911, Binghamton New York.


This card is rather puzzling. Written in June 1953 and posted from Ohio. The message seems totally unrelated to the card.
