I'm pretty sure that Shakespeare's responsible for England's portrayal as a bulldog. It's because of one first draft that came to public attention after which he was compelled to revise what he wrote.

A Comedy of Terriers.

Shakespeare describing Steve Bannon - KingLear, Act 2 Scene 2, continued

"...glass-gazing, superserviceable, finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in way of good service, & art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, & the son & heir of a mongrel bitch; one whom I will beat into clamorous whining if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.”

In his pre-teen youth, William was peddling cosmetic products to The Globe's actors and this was an era when France and England weren't getting along so there was ribald portrayals of rival playrights, which resulted in William also providing a prosthetic nose for a send-up of the actual Cyrano de Bergerac.

And when William had finished products ready to sell, he'd just ring the Globe doorbell and yell "Stratford On Avon Calling"!

He egregiously abused the Columbia House 12 Sonnets for a Penny Club.
