The Staffordshire Bull Terrier, commonly called Stafford, is a shorthaired, purebred dog breed of medium size that originated in the Black Country of Staffordshire in the English Midlands. Their earliest beginnings date back centuries ago when the Mastiff and Bulldog were closely linked, and the sport of bull and bear baiting required large dogs in the 100–120 lb. range. In the 1830s, bull-baiting became illegal, and dog fighting became a clandestine sport. Breeders moved away from the heavier dogs used for bull-baiting, and "terrier blood was crossed into the bulldog breed" to produce a more agile and lithe dog. The ancestral hybrid cross of bulldogs and terriers were sometimes referred to as half-and-halfs and half-breds but became more commonly known as the bull and terrier, which was not an official breed but the beginning of several breeds.
A sun dog or mock sun, also called a parhelion in meteorology, is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot to one or both sides of the Sun. Two sun dogs often flank the Sun within a 22° halo.
A halo is an optical phenomenon produced by light interacting with ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Halos can have many forms, ranging from colored or white rings to arcs and spots in the sky. Many of these appear near the Sun or Moon, but others occur elsewhere or even in the opposite part of the sky. Among the best known halo types are the circular halo, light pillars, and sun dogs, but many others occur; some are fairly common while others are extremely rare.
