Words that rhyme with Bulldog
There's a particular shape to bulldog: two-syllable, built on the round /ษ/, ending that lands on a stopped consonant. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. What the engine returns: the strict column is unhelpful here, the family column is blank, and the assonance column dwarfs the others. Lyric-wise, the word reads as an unguarded everyday word. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why bulldog rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for bulldog starts at the vowel โ the short /ษ/, IPA /ษ/ โ and ends where the line shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 3, assonance 4,224, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Bulldog reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
