Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Bandognoun
A kind of large dog.
Etymology: from ban or band, and dog. The original of this word is very doubtful. John Caius, de canibus Britannicis, derives it from band, that is, a dog chained up. Stephen Skinner inclines to deduce it from bana, a murderer. May it not come from ban a curse, as we say a curst cur; or rather from baund, swelled or large, a Danish word; from whence, in some counties, they call a great nut a ban-nut.
The time of night when Troy was set on fire,
The time when screech-owls cry, and bandogs howl. William Shakespeare, Henry VI. p. ii.Or privy, or pert, if any bin,
We have great bandogs will tear their skin. Edmund Spenser, Pastorals.

Bandog
The term Bandog originated around 1250-1300 in Middle England, referring to a mastiff type dog that was bound by a chain during the daytime and was released at night to guard against intruders. In 1570 Johannes Caius published a book in Latin which in 1576 was translated into English by Abraham Fleming under the name Of Englishe Dogges, in which he described Bandog as a vast, stubborn, eager dog of heavy body.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
