[No Man]

This is not surprising at all. The Staffordshire Terrier has long been known to seek out the warmth of automotive engines due to the breed having a hard time regulating their core body temperatures when they are excited. These dogs were a favorite of many of the race teams at the old Goodwood Motor Circuit near Chichester, England. They were used to protect the motor cars in between races and even overnight. Their proclivity to seek the warmth of the race car engines made them excellent as deterrents against the rogue's and thieves of the day. So frequent was their presence in the motor service areas that they came to be called "pit bulls", a name that has stuck to this day. True story.
