I remember the day we brought Teddy, our English Bulldog puppy, into our home. The breeder told us he was eight weeks old, but after receiving his papers, we noticed he was actually only six weeks old at the time. He was a healthy little bruiser, and we would laugh at his stumbling and incoordination, now realizing it was because he was such a baby. My wife and I would sit on the porch in the evenings and watch him explore in the front yard. He was so happy as he would jump and roll in the grass and investigate his new surroundings, but when he heard a loud commotion like a noisy car passing by, it would scare him and he would come running to us. After a while, he gradually became more used to the traffic sounds and the lawn mowers, and eventually it did not bother him.
