With a face so cute, who could resist a bulldog?The airlines can, apparently.

"That's right, the pups are the latest in the no-fly zone. Along with knives and toxic liquids, bulldogs and other snub-nosed pets simply won't fly with the airlines.
Their short noses supposedly give them breathing problems, especially when flying in the cargo hold of airplanes. And the numbers prove why man's best friend is not a friend of the airlines: between June 2005 and June 2011, 189 animals died on commercial flights, according to the U.S. Deparment of Agriculture.
