Videos of a 15-month-old English Bull Terrier puppy shared on TikTok have wowed the internet.
Lizzy Walters, from Derbyshire, England, has shared videos of her new pup, Nova, with thousands of followers and TikTok users who have been smitten with the pup.
The English Bull Terrier, also known simply as the Bull Terrier, was first recognized as a breed by the American Kennel Club in 1885.
These dogs were first popularized in Britain in the 13th century and bred for bloodsports. Even as late as the 1830s, when blood sports involving animals were banned, the practice continued illegally for some time.
