    How did she know that the dog had mittens?

    I've always heard that Hellen Keller's dog was a pitbull type dog, but this pup looks more like a boxer mix or even a Boston terrier mix. The muzzle seems to turn up more like a Boxer/Boston terrier than a pitbull and also it's lower jaw is jutting out more than a pitbull's lower jaw does. For does anyone know for sure?

    A Boston Terrier. Too many Pit Bull apologists are fantasists.

    Here's the newspaper article from when Hellen Keller was given the dog from students at Radcliffe. Previously, as the article notes, she had a spaniel. How she came by the dog, as the article notes, is an interesting story in itself.
