My dogs
Beanie
 She came from Battersea Dogs' Home (you can find them here) in August 1999 and was with me until February 2004. She was about 10 years of age when I got her, and she quickly developed the grey on the muzzle to prove it. She had the suspicion of humans that comes from being mistreated in the past (although it didn't take much to make her drop it!)
She showed me a lot about her past. She obviously had experience of boats, since she wanted to jump on every one we passed, but not of the countryside. When she first encountered a cattle grid in typically terrier fashion she tried to charge straight across. The second time - after I'd rescued her - she though about it, and walked on the slats. She was a great rat hunter, and liked chasing squirrels, which seemed to know they were quite safe.
She'd play with her ball, no matter what the conditions!
I didn't know anything about Staffordshire bull terriers until I got Beanie, but I think the description "people-loving" is right.
