Vega

 Our next-door neighbor has a female Staffordshire Terrier named Vega. I get to take walks with her frequently. According to Wikipedia, "The Stafford is considered a family pet and companion dog, and is among the breeds recommended by the KC for families. Relative to the breed's ancestral progenitors, the AKC states: 'From his brawling past, the muscular but agile Staffordshire Bull Terrier retains the traits of courage and tenacity. Happily, good breeding transformed this former gladiator into a mild, playful companion with a special feel for kids.'"

Watchman, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, is a military mascot of the now-disbanded Staffordshire Regiment, and continues his duties as part of the Staffordshire Regimental Association. There have been five Watchman since 1949, and the current mascot is LCpl Watchman VI, who took up his duties on 5 March 2019.
