Here are the 10 most loyal breeds of adorable dogs who are completely devoted to their human family
If you’re thinking about getting a new dog, you’re not alone — figures from The Kennel Club show that the number of people looking for puppies has risen by around eight percent since the global pandemic began.
But with 221 different pedigree dog breeds to choose from, there’s a lot to think about before choosing the latest four-legged friend for your family—whether you want a big dog, a family-friendly dog, or a crossbreed.
